ownCloud
ownCloud web server core (Files, DAV, etc.)
ownCloud Core is the foundational server component of the ownCloud ecosystem, providing a self-hosted platform for secure file storage, synchronization, and sharing across devices and teams. It enables organizations and individuals to maintain full control over their data by running a personal cloud on their own infrastructure rather than relying on third-party providers. The software supports collaborative workflows by allowing users to upload, organize, and share files through a web interface, desktop sync clients, and mobile integrations. Designed with extensibility in mind, the core platform can be enhanced through apps and plugins that add capabilities such as document editing, authentication methods, and workflow automation. It is widely used in enterprise and privacy-focused environments because it combines open-source transparency with enterprise-grade controls and permissions. -

Kinto
A generic JSON document store with sharing and synchronisation options
Kinto is a minimalist JSON storage service with synchronization and sharing abilities. It is meant to be easy to use and easy to self-host. Kinto is used at Mozilla and released under the Apache v2 license. It’s hard for frontend developers to respect users' privacy when building applications that work offline, store data remotely and synchronize across devices. Existing solutions either rely on big corporations that crave user data or require a non-trivial amount of time and expertise to set up a new server for every new project. We want to help developers focus on the front, and we don’t want the challenge of storing user data to get in their way. The path between a new idea and deploying to production should be short! Also, we believe data belong to the users, and not necessarily to the application authors. Applications should be decoupled from the storage location, and users should be able to choose where their personal data are stored. -

SparkleShare
Share and collaborate by syncing with any Git repository
SparkleShare creates a special folder on your computer. You can add remotely hosted folders (or "projects") to this folder. These projects will be automatically kept in sync with both the host and all of your peers when someone adds, removes or edits a file. SparkleShare was made to cover certain use cases, but doesn't handle every scenario well. SparkleShare uses the version control system Git under the hood, so setting up a host yourself is relatively easy. Using your own host gives you more privacy and control, as well as lots of cheap storage space and higher transfer speeds. The idea of SparkleShare sprouted at the GNOME Usability Hackfest in London, where a couple of designers came to the conclusion that they didn't have a good (Open Source) collaboration tool to share their work. -

ownCloud Desktop Client
Desktop Syncing Client for ownCloud
The ownCloud Desktop Client is a cross-platform synchronization tool that connects local computers to an ownCloud server, enabling seamless file access and offline productivity. It integrates directly with the operating system’s file manager so users can work with cloud files as if they were stored locally. The client supports selective sync and virtual file capabilities, allowing users to control disk usage by downloading files only when needed. It can manage multiple ownCloud accounts simultaneously, making it suitable for professionals who work across different organizations or environments. Automatic update reminders and enterprise deployment options help maintain security and consistency at scale. Overall, the desktop client acts as the primary bridge between end-user workstations and the ownCloud private cloud infrastructure. -

ownCloud Infinite Scale
ownCloud Infinite Scale Stack
ownCloud Infinite Scale (oCIS) is the modern, cloud-native evolution of ownCloud designed to deliver high performance and virtually unlimited scalability for enterprise file collaboration. Built with a microservices architecture in Go, it replaces the traditional monolithic server with a distributed system optimized for containerized and hybrid cloud environments. The platform focuses on providing a unified data access layer that can connect multiple storage backends while maintaining strong control over file sharing and governance. It enables real-time collaboration through web office integrations and supports advanced administrative features such as custom roles, tagging, and full-text search. Because of its modular design, oCIS can be deployed efficiently in public, private, or hybrid infrastructures while reducing operational overhead. -

This application synchronizes Lotus Notes Calendar entries with Google Calendar. GCal supports syncing with both iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) and Android devices, so you can now view your Lotus Notes calendar on your mobile device. GCal also allows you to view the calendar using any ical/rss/html compatible viewer. Currently the sync is only one direction: pushing Lotus Notes entries to GCal. All entries manually created in GCal will be ignored (and not copied down to Lotus Notes).

SyncManager
Sync manager that helps you sync your files across different locations
SyncManager is a custom-made lightweight synchronization manager that helps you synchronize files and folders across different locations. SyncManager lets you synchronize your data in two ways: manually or automatically. Manual syncing mode lets you decide what and when to synchronize data, while automatic syncing mode synchronizes data based on its average synchronization time. It also offers three distinct synchronization types: two-way, one-way, and one-way update, allowing you to synchronize data between folders in different ways. Plus, it has filtering and customizable versioning settings that help you to set synchronization more precisely. You can also decide how to handle old versions of files and folders: move them to the trash, delete them permanently, or version them in a special folder. The utility is operating as a fully automated solution that seamlessly launches at system startup. -

simple rdist rcs and tools , srtools
simple rdist rcs and tools , srtools , synchronizing
srtools is a set of simple remote tools. the main two to mention: simple rdist distributes files or commands across hosts. srdist(1) understands rcs(1) files and host based files. there are several other tools see README. rcs tools has a few things , like "late-checkins" to check for files that one forgot to check in an dorev to force check in / do easy check in (avoiding complicated options). host based files is a way to allow hosts to distribute all files without clobbering host specific files. and with that ... srtools(1) makes partially synchronizng hosts easy. Also can be a far easier way to do incremental or nightly backups. Also an easy way to have multiple hosts interact. README is visible on file download page EXAMPLE: $rcssrdist file (file was broadcased to default hosts list that are up. if a rcs pair existed it was taken care of. existence of directory on other hosts was checked (common mistakes checked) -
