Integration with owncloud
Integration with the on-premise, open source owncloud file sync and share would make mattermost a powerfull tool for team communication and collaboration. It seems the work on webhoks will enable this indirectly (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/8786968-add-slack-like-integrations) but it would be great if you could provide dedicated owncloud integration so that files stored in owncloud can be shared and linked to from mattermost conversations.

Even if I don't go into integration, if I can just mount Nextcloud by WebDAV on mattermost and I'm satisfied.

So since my last comment, most core developers and community moved over from OwnCloud to the community-driven fork Nextcloud: https://nextcloud.com
And we are still very interested in nice integration with Mattermost! It actually sounds like a perfect task for someone looking to dive into both Mattermost and Nextcloud, so we put it up as a starter issue and will probably tackle it at one of our next events. :)

Dear Community admin,
ownCloud's Jan-Christoph Borchardt pointed you to their IRC if you have technical questions:
Integration would indeed be cool!
If you go forward with this and have any technical questions regarding ownCloud, you are welcome in our IRC channel #owncloud-dev (on freenode)!
Also, in the hope of furher facititating communication, I opened an ownCloud issue with your request, find it here:

That is, we use the WebDAV standard for files (CalDAV for calendars, CardDAV for contacts) and there is a Sharing API: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/developer_manual/core/ocs-share-api.html

I agree, integration between these two platforms would be great!

This is a great idea. I actually thought it was already, but that was for Gitlab. Actually, owncloud + gitlab + mattermost could be a whole OSS Developers Centre...
