ownCloud Inc, the popular open source enterprise file sync and share project, has just launched commercial offerings based on version 4 of the community edition of ownCloud.

According to the developers, ownCloud 4 introduces file versioning and rollback, enhanced encryption, a new API and fast, easy viewing of ODF files.

“Version 3 represented a great technology leap forward. As our community continues to grow, Version 4 has benefited greatly, and the result is the most innovative and flexible sync and share platform to date,” said Frank Karlitschek, founder of ownCloud.

“The latest ownCloud offers features businesses and service providers have been asking for, and adds new features and applications that meet the needs of the community and will greatly enhance our upcoming commercial editions.”

Besides the new features, ownCloud 4 can now mount external files systems, including Dropbox, FTP and Google Drive, enabling users to have all their file sync and share tools in a single ownCloud interface.

The community edition of ownCloud now has over 450,000 users, and because it’s open source, ownCloud offers no vendor lock-in and pulls in features from the community.
