I dumped ownCloud after it deleted a critical file for some unknown reason. The bug is still open. Maybe the calendar and addressbook handling is better, but I won't be trusting it.
- sdoering 14y agoGood to know. Well I never had problems with the calender or the bookmarks up till now (6 months going). But I do not use it for files. So good to know, that there might be a problem. Did it "loose" the files, deleting the files from the server, or just the "link" to the files?
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoI am not OP, but what it reportedly does is when a new file appears, if the clocks aren't exactly in sync, instead of "spreading" that file to other machines, it instead immediately deletes it because other machines are "newer" and don't have the file (or something). There is some kind of strange race condition with the syncing. It doesn't always happen. In fact it doesn't happen very often. But most people won't accept even a "rare" random file deletion from a product they're using to protect themselves from exactly that kind of data loss.
- jancborchardt 14y agoSorry for the problems. Obviously we never want data loss to happen but sometimes it does, whether it’s error in the code or in the setup. Can you give me a link to the bug?
- casca 14y agoHi Jan, Thank you for the work you've done on ownCloud. It's a fantastic project and it would be my first choice for hosting as I self-host everything. But a client that is willing to delete files instead of syncing them is just not worth risking for me.
