Since its announcement in 2018, the Virtual File System has become so stable and so useful that we have come to see it as a required feature for business-ready file sync and share solutions. Users can of course make certain files and folders permanently available locally. Until then, they remain visible without using up space – saving loads of storage and bandwidth in the process. In short, it transfers the actual content of files to your hard drive only if and when they are being used. On Windows, the Virtual File System is now activated right out of the box. It means you are no longer bound to preconfigured chunk sizes – the upload automatically resumes from wherever it previously broke off. ownCloud Desktop 2.7.1 combined with the upcoming ownCloud Infinite Scale takes this approach to a new level through the implementation of the TUS protocol. OwnCloud Desktop can portion uploads so as to make sure they reach the ownCloud server even if the connection is choppy or there are upload size limits involved. It also makes the Desktop Client 2.7.1 compatible with our upcoming file platform ownCloud Infinite Scale that will exclusively use OpenID Connect. This makes integrating ownCloud into existing, modular environments even more straightforward. Released recently as an extension for the ownCloud server, OIDC enables authentication of users and authorization of clients against an external Identity Provider (IdP).

OwnCloud Desktop 2.7.1 brings integration with OpenID Connect (OIDC).

User who tested 2.7 on their Macs should manually install 2.7.1 because the pre-release-builds lack auto-update capability.

The new ownCloud Desktop Client release is called 2.7.1 because it includes a fix for an issue that became apparent in the testing of 2.7.

It is now ready to download or upgrade! Why 2.7.1 instead of 2.7.0? It enables virtual files on Windows by default and brings support for OpenID Connect and the TUS resumable upload protocol, enabling it to connect to the upcoming ownCloud Infinite Scale, alongside a number of other changes and bugfixes. We are pleased to announce the release of the ownCloud Desktop Client version 2.7.1.
