Migration

Migrate from ownCloud
in 30 minutes.

No database changes. No user re-creation. No data moves. Just a modern, secure ownCloud.

The ownCloud dilemma

Development stalled

ownCloud stopped active development of the PHP codebase.

PHP 7.4 end-of-life

No more security patches for the runtime your server depends on.

Infinite Scale ≠ upgrade

ownCloud's new Go-based rewrite requires starting completely over.

No clear path forward

Thousands of admins left with no supported upgrade option.

The EFAdrive solution

Purchase

Get a migration script license or choose our managed service.

Run

Execute the migration script on your existing ownCloud server.

Wait

The script upgrades PHP, patches code, and installs EFAdrive (~30 min).

Done

Same data, same users, same files — now on a modern, secure platform.

Your database stays. Your files stay. Your users stay. Only the vulnerabilities leave.

What the script does
