## Review summary

ownCloud.online is appreciated for enabling connections to various ownCloud servers and serving as a reliable client even for older servers. Users found it helpful especially during lockdowns. However, recent updates restricting file access to a secure storage broke offline usage with other apps. The mandatory paid subscription with required credit card info and questionable trial charges caused dissatisfaction. Additionally, background uploading is not supported, requiring the app to be open, and some users dislike the green UI color.

### Pros

- Allows connection to arbitrary ownCloud instances, including private servers.
- Helpful during situations like the COVID-19 lockdown.
- Meets expectations and works well as a client for ownCloud servers.
- Can be used as a replacement for older ownCloud apps that no longer work with certain server versions.

### Cons

- Recent update changed file storage to a secure location on the phone, causing offline files to be hidden from other apps, breaking workflows like selective downloads for media players.
- The app requires a paid subscription and credit card information even for the free trial, with reports of unexpected blocked charges, causing user distrust.
- Uploads do not happen in the background and require the app to be opened, leading to frustration with upload delays.
- UI color scheme is criticized as being too bright or green and could be improved.
