Bug Description

Some applications rely on the GOA functionality to add accounts. E.g if you install the gnome-contacts package you can't connect it to your next/owncloud because UOA only supports Google ATM.

This would also make it easier to setup Gnome-Calendar which is preinstalled since Xenial.

Is there a specific reason why this isn't supported, since Upstream has support for that?

Yes, Not supporting open source owncloud server in Ubuntu is really a fail.

in 16.04 , we have to install GOA and it does not work as expected.

providing a "Cloud" full feature (contacts/agenda/mail/files) like ICloud and Onedrive is a must if we want to compete with APple/microsoft on the desktop
