You can configure an ownCloud installation running on Linux to use your AD to authenticate your users. This is explained here:

thanks for your clarification. but if I went for ubuntu should I install it in ubuntu desktop or server ?

The choose of the used linux distro is up to you. There should be some webpages / wikis out there explaining you the differences between ubuntu desktop or server.

Desktop version often already include a GUI which is not needed on a server. If you don't want to update your Ubuntu system very often, rather go for the LTS version.
