Secure, Flexible Cloud Storage Alternative

I like ownCloud for the full control it provides over data and privacy. Being self-hosted, it allows me to decide where files are stored, who can access them, and how security is managed. I appreciate its smooth file syncing and reliable sharing, which facilitate easy collaboration without relying on third-party cloud providers. The self-hosting and data ownership options, granular sharing permissions, and strong security features like encryption and access controls are incredibly valuable. The reliable desktop and mobile syncing ensures files are always available, and the collaboration features like link sharing and versioning make teamwork smooth, all while preserving privacy and control.

Fast and Easy File Sharing with ownCloud

I like the speed of ownCloud. It's just that I can send so many files overnight. It's awesome, and I love it very much. Setting it up was pretty easy, as long as I had an email address. It's so simple that even a baby could set it up by themselves. I'm grateful because ownCloud helps me to share files and keep folders easily. It's been awesome.

Secure data synchronization with full control

I use ownCloud to securely sync and share data (files, calendars, contacts) on my own server. I like that it is an open-source and self-hosted option that gives me full control over my data. The initial setup process of ownCloud was also very easy.
