The best place to store your data
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates ownCloud from other similar products?
This is a platform for file storage that syncs your files with your computer or machines and saves them like Dropbox. They provide clients for Android, iOS, Mac, Linux, and Windows. A commercial enterprise edition with more functionality is available. You may add apps from a growing app store on your instance to increase functionality even further.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
On my server, I utilized it for a while, using the storage for my cloud hosting. The installation process was very simple, there were no hiccups or strange setup issues with my server (I was using BlueHost), and the user interface was clear and simple to use. The smartphone app was not something I bought, even though I would have liked to give it a try.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There were a few issues when I first uploaded them that I had to have my host figure out because I couldn't locate any OwnCloud instructions for them. It doesn't have a particularly solid support system because it's a free source.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Since OwnCloud is a WebDAV server, users of Microsoft software and other programmers may access its files by entering a web address. OwnCloud servers are available for on-site use. An excellent connection with internal tools is made possible through SSO authentication and custom branding.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable

Collaboration and file-sharing platform
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates ownCloud from other similar products?
The only restriction on the amount of storage space you have is the amount of disc space on your server as it operates on your hardware. You may schedule a link to automatically deactivate and establish public links with or without password security. You are allowed to have an unlimited number of synced folders.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Having storage on your property is fantastic. Nothing beats local for speed, but it's also crucial to have the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly where your data is at all times. It's quite simple to sync between several devices thanks to the clients (I use Windows, Linux, and Android clients); just set it up once and forget about it!
What do you dislike most about this product?
The only problem I've ever had with it was when a site unexpectedly expired. I understand that setting a date and then forgetting it was my mistake, but it would be convenient to get a notification when an expiration date is approaching. Although I now know how to handle things better, I would still value a notification.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Local document synchronization with the online web platform is automatic, highly effective, and quick. On your shared folders, you may change the privileges. When a file is modified in a shared folder, you might receive a mail notification. An external user can receive a download link with a time constraint on it.

- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
