I came across a reference to DropBox support in Dataverse but after going through the documentation  I can't see any information on how to configure this.  I'm interested too if anyone is interested in adding support for ownCloud -- the idea being a researcher could drop files into an ownCloud account and these would be added to a dataset.

There's a JVM option to configure Dropbox, which is (lightly) documented at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.3.1/installation/config.html#dataverse-dropbox-key

I don't know much about ownCloud but I did see this the other day: "In April 2016 Karlitschek and many of the top contributors left ownCloud Inc. Five weeks later they started Nextcloud, a fork of ownCloud." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OwnCloud . I guess maybe you're suggesting that someone could build an ownCloud Dataverse app to be listed at https://apps.owncloud.com or something.

Nextcloud has the bigger momentum and is 100% open source so adding support for Nextcloud would make sense. I'm happy to help you if you need any support in doing this. 

Cheers

I just shook Frank's hand this morning at #dataverse2019 so if anyone is here in Cambridge and would like to pick his brain about NextCloud, now would be a good time. He's giving a talk tomorrow: https://dcm2019.sched.com/event/PVLb/nextcloud-as-an-open-source-on-prem-file-sync-and-share-solution-for-research

Very cool! I ran earlier versions of OwnCloud in a former life but didn't know about NextCloud. I volunteer to check it out and stand up a test instance.
