La ukungezwani phakathi kwe-Google nonjiniyela ozimele ibuyile enkabeni yenkulumo-mpikiswano, kulokhu ne-Nextcloud (umhlinzeki wesofthiwe wamahhala ugxile efwini eliyimfihlo), elisola icala elicacile lokuvinjwa.
Futhi yilokho I-Nextcloud isola i-Google ngokuvimbela ngamabomu ukusebenza okugcwele kohlelo lwakho lokusebenza Amafayela e-Nextcloud, kubalulekile ekuvunyelanisweni kwedatha okuzenzakalelayo phakathi kwamadivayisi eselula namaseva e-Nextcloud.
Kusukela ngoSepthemba 2024, I-Google inqabile ukwamukela isibuyekezo sohlelo lokusebenza kusuka ku-Nextcloud ku-Google Play Isitolo, efuna ukuthi kukhishwe imvume yokufinyelela kuwo wonke amafayela (“Ukufinyelela Wonke Amafayela”). Le mvume ikuvumela ukuthi ufunde futhi ubhale noma yiliphi ifayela kusistimu yokugcina yedivayisi, futhi nakuba ibucayi ngokombono wobumfihlo, ibalulekile kumodeli yokusebenza i-Nextcloud enikeza abasebenzisi bayo: ukuvumelanisa zonke izinhlobo zamafayela, ngale kwezithombe namavidiyo.
Ngaphandle kwale mvume, kuchaza inkampani, Uhlelo lokusebenza luncishiselwa ekubeni ithuluzi lokwabelana ngokuqukethwe kwe-multimedia, ethinta cishe abasebenzisi abangu-800.000 abasebenzayo. Ukwenqaba kwe-Google kufinyelela ngempumelelo umkhawulo wokusebenza: uhlelo lokusebenza luyaqhubeka lusebenza ngokungakhawulelwe kwamanye amakhosombe afana ne-F-Droid, okuphakamisa ukuthi inkinga akuyona eyobuchwepheshe, kodwa yepolitiki.
Ukungqubuzana phakathi kobumfihlo nokulawulwa kwemakethe
I-Google ithethelela umkhawulo ngokuthi ingxenye yesu layo Ukuqinisa ukuphepha kwe-Android, iphushela onjiniyela kuma-API anemikhawulo eyengeziwe njenge-MediaStore kanye ne-Storeage Access Framework (SAF). Lezi zindawo zinikeza ukufinyelela okuhlanganisiwe nokulawulwayo kumafayela esistimu, kodwa akuvumeli ukuvumelanisa okusabalele okudingwa yi-Nextcloud. Ngokusho kwenkampani, lezi zindlela azihambisani nemodeli yokusetshenziswa futhi zibeka engcupheni ubumfihlo bomsebenzisi kanye nokuzimela.
Ukugxekwa I-Nextcloud central igxile ekuphathweni ngokungalingani: Ngenkathi isicelo sakho sibhekene nokuphahlazeka, I-Google Drayivu namanye amathuluzi aqondene ne-Android ecosystem awathinteki. ngenxa yale mikhawulo, ukugcina izinzuzo ezincintisanayo ezichazwa yi-Nextcloud njengengalungile futhi i-monopolistic.
Azikho izizathu zobuchwepheshe zokusenqabela le mvume, uma izinhlelo zokusebenza ezifanayo ze-Google ziyisebenzisa.
Lokhu kungqubuzana okusha kusikhumbuza amacala angokomlando okuhlukunyezwa kwezikhundla yizinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe. I-Nextcloud ibe ngumgxeki ongaguquki, njengoba ibike iMicrosoft ku-European Union ngo-2021 ngezinqubo ezifanayo zamafu. Kodwa eminyakeni emine kamuva, bayakhala, akubanga khona intuthuko ephawulekayo.
“Amabhizinisi amancane njengawethu awanazo izinsiza zokulwa unomphela,” kusho le nkampani, emlayezweni obonisa kokubili ukukhungatheka nokungakwazi ukuzisiza.
Olunye uhlangothi: ukuphepha kwedatha nokulawula
Ngokombono we-Google kanye nemibono yabahlaziyi, ukuphikisana kuhlukile. Ukufinyelela okugcwele kumafayela edivayisi kugxekwe kakhulu ngenxa yezizathu zokuphepha, njengoba kuvumele izinhlelo zokusebenza ezinonya ukuthi zilandele imethadatha ebucayi, njengendawo nge-EXIF ezithombeni. Ngakho, ukukhawulela le mvume kuhlose ukuvikela umsebenzisi ojwayelekile, ovamise ukungazi ngobungozi.
Kodwa-ke, ukugxekwa kwezindinganiso ezimbili ze-Google kuvumelekile: uma lezi zinyathelo zidingekile, kufanele zisetshenziswe ngokufanayo, ngaphandle kokukhipha labo abanikeza ezinye izindlela ezisemthethweni ezivela emakethe.
Lena akuyona inkinga eyodwa. Njengoba i-EU intula ukwengamela ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Microsoft kwamaThimba kanye ne-OneDrive ku-Windows, i-Google ibonakala ikhuthazwa ukuba ilandele okufanayo, okuqhubekisele phambili ukuncintisana nokusungula izinto ezintsha.
Ukuncintisana noma ukulawula?
Icala ligqamisa inkinga emaphakathi ku-Android: umsebenzisi uvikelwe kangakanani, futhi kuqala kuphi ukulawulwa kwebhizinisi kwemakethe? Ngokuvala isici esibalulekile se-Nextcloud, kodwa ukuyigcina ifinyeleleka ngenkonzo yayo, i-Google izobe ivimba indlela yombangi oqondile, ekuhambeni abaningi abakubheka njengokungahambisani nokuncintisana.
I-Nextcloud ayililahli ithemba. Yize uhlelo lokusebenza olugcwele lusatholakala ngaphandle kwe-Google Play Isitolo, njengaku-F-Droid, abasebenzisi abaningi bakhetha ukunethezeka nokubonakala kwe-Google Play, okubeka inkampani yase-Europe kusimo esingesihle esisobala.
