Nextcloud isn't just a fork, the founder and most of the engineering team left owncloud to start nextcloud. You can read more about it here: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/owncloud-founder-has-forked-their-product-into-nextcloud/
Like Devin, I'm also using owncloud at the moment, though not on openbsd right now, and in the process of moving to nextcloud. If anyone needs help testing a port of nextcloud, I'd be more than willing to help. If that could lead to me (and others) running it on OpenBSD, that would be terrific.
