We regret having to remove these connectors, but want to communicate to our fantastic community that this does not result in a reduction of connectivity support. On the 1st of August 2019 we’ll completely remove access to these datasources, and existing connections will no longer be available.

Over the coming weeks we’ll remove access to Nextcloud and ownCloud connectors for new vault connections, but existing connections will continue to work. While we expand the platform we cannot unfortunately support CORS issue troubleshooting. Users that cannot connect to ownCloud or Nextcloud right now, or are experiencing issues while trying to connect, will unfortunately not find any resolution when using the WebDAV adapter - All three items use the same engine under the hood. Directions for the WebDAV URLs for each service can be found in their respective documentation. For instance, an existing ownCloud URL might look like, and on WebDAV this would change to. Unfortunately this deprecation will require users to transition to the WebDAV datasource type, but users will still be able to connect to WebDAV enabled services. What does this mean for current ownCloud and Nextcloud users?Īt most a slight inconvenience, if you’re using them without issue now. Growing Buttercup while supporting connection issues on these platforms is not something that the two of us can do right now, so we’re rearranging the storage connectors to ensure a better balance between our efforts to continue building Buttercup and the stability of the platform and its integrations. ownCloud has managed to implement domain whitelisting but neglected support for browser extensions (no domain), leaving modified nginx and Apache configurations as one of the only options for getting CORS working. They’ve neglected proper CORS support and in doing so have created a large community support problem with Buttercup - we haven’t successfully been able to help our users in every case due to the support issues upstream. It also provides first-party Nextcloud and ownCloud adapters that simply wrap WebDAV - they’re not mega-useful beyond providing nice names and icons for users that have their own installations or something to that effect.īoth ownCloud and Nextcloud have had major issues supporting WebDAV access from browsers, where Buttercup also operates. Some printers and scanners even integrate it to allow for cloud storage integration.īuttercup provides WebDAV access directly via a WebDAV adapter, which can be accessed in any of Buttercup’s applications.

Serious cloud storage providers implement it to provide compatibility for services that still rely on WebDAV to transfer files to and fro. WebDAV is a fantastic protocol (dating back to 1996) that allows for easy resource discovery on a server, such as with file storage providers. They support WebDAV, but in our opinion they don’t treat it with the respect that it deserves. They’re great platforms with fantastic communities that support simple protocols like WebDAV.
NEXTCLOUD OWNCLOUD PASSWORD
Provided is a feature-rich password management platform that can be used entirely for free, and services such as ownCloud and Nextcloud made that possible.ĭropbox is great, but to some people (ourselves included) nothing screams secure better than a self-hosted cloud storage option like the two we’re talking about here.

NEXTCLOUD OWNCLOUD FREE
Storing password vaults on free cloud storage is one of the fundamental ideas behind Buttercup’s open source password manager.
