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.
