Optional applications can help enhance ownCloud functionality. Some applications are available after the installation of ownCloud as “internal” in a “disabled” state. While other applications are “3rd Party” and are available as “one click” installations (from the ownCloud Application Store) that are automatically downloaded, installed, and “enabled” when from the ownCloud administration settings.

Applications internal to ownCloud are supported by the ownCloud project community where 3rd party applications are supported “as-is” by their contributing authors. Many 3rd party applications were developed for specific ownCloud release versions and cannot be used in new or old releases. The ownCloud “Apps” administration only displays applications that are rated for the installed instance of ownCloud.

Here is a sample of some ownCloud applications:

App Name Description
Bookmarks Bookmark manager.
File Move Move dialog for the “Files” interface.
Tasks Tasks view from calendar.
Dependencies Information Display OwnCloud's dependencies information (i.e. missings modules).
Who Share File attribute extension showing the "Owner" of a shared file/directory.
