ownCloud Pricing Overview

For me, the best part of OwnCloud is that I have absolute control over my data. With Google Drive or Dropbox, for example, your files are just stored on some big company's servers and for the most part you have no idea where it’s actually stored or what is going on with your files, storage, and privacy. Through OwnCloud I can store everything locally on my own server, with my domain name, and there is a value in that for my team and I because we work with some sensitive files and we just want to be in control of our security and privacy. The interface is pretty standard for cloud storage systems, so after the initial setup, it is simple to use. It is a large sign of relief to know that it is cloud storage backed by open-source code, which means the community is always improving and enhancing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alright, so the biggest con, and it is a pretty big con, is the initial setup. Configuration of a Syncro server is definitely not user-friendly, so it's not a solution for a person that's not tech-savvy. You have to understand what you're doing with a server, and the configuration process can be a real pain. The performance can also be finicky as well. If you're syncing a large folder with many files, it can feel a little slow. It's not a deal-breaker, but you will notice it. Also, like most products, be careful when checking out the paid add-ons and the managed services, they add up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
