# ownCloud Web
With ownCloud Web you can manage your ownCloud in your browser.
ownCloud Web is a single page, standalone frontend, based on modern web technologies. It brings new features as well as improved user flows and can be deployed independent of the backend server.
## Compatibility
Usage of Web UI and [ownCloud 10](https://github.com/owncloud/core) as backend is **not** recommended starting with version `7.1.0` of the Web UI, meaning newer versions only support [ownCloud Infinite Scale](https://github.com/owncloud/ocis). If you want to use the Web UI with ownCloud 10, please use App version `7.0.2`. Critical bugs can be fixed upon request.
## Examples
Here are some examples of what you can do with ownCloud Web:
- 🗂 **Files**: Upload, download, search and manage files (as you may know it for example from Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc.).
- 👥 **Share:** Allow fine-grained access to files and whole folders directly with other users on your ownCloud.
- 🔗 **Links**: Create links and share them with anyone in the world - optional password-protection available.
- 📝 **Write**: Edit your documents with the editor of your choice like ONLYOFFICE, Collabora or Microsoft Word and more.
- 🤝 **Collaborate** in real-time on documents.
- 🚀 **Spaces**: You have to manage important projects? Let Spaces, the new special folders, keep order.
- ◀️ **Versioning** Saved the wrong version? We have the time machine you were looking for! Easily go back in time and restore older versions of your files.
- 📥 **Drop-folders:** Collect files from other people in one folder via a simple link, ex. homework from pupils or photos from your family - optional password-protection available.
- 🔒 **Privacy first:** ownCloud Web is GDPR compliant and can both be used completely internally or together with external people. It also will never "phone home".
- 🛡 **Secure:** ownCloud Web is an open source project which means that you can track every action, update and dependency of the software.
- ♿ **Inclusive:** Our goal is to be accessible for kids as well as seniors and for newbies as well as experts - since we are all affected by physical and cognitive limitations, depending on our personal situation.
- 🧩 **Extensible:** ownCloud Web is build as a plattform that can be extended in the most developer friendly way.
- 🌗 **Darkmode:** Initialized with your browser settings, and easily switched to please your eyes better.
- 🎭 **Themes**: Customize to your branding needs or personal taste in no time.
- 👉 and many more...
While the `web` frontend provides a performant, elegant, accessible and themeable base, it also aims to be extendable with custom extensions provided by external developers.
