ownCloud is an all-inclusive client-server software solution that allows you to create and utilize file hosting services. The functionality of ownCloud bears resemblance to Dropbox, with its ability to securely share, synchronize data on a variety of platforms.
Features
Key differences lie in the fact that ownCloud functions primarily as a server software. It regulates and oversees access while encouraging collaboration across devices, teams, and continents – all without compromising data, risking theft or violating privacy regulations.
A standout feature of ownCloud is its control over data storage. You have the option to deploy this platform either in your own data center on-premises, through a trusted service provider or opt for ownCloud.online - a Software as a Service (SaaS) collaboration platform based in Germany. In addition, it enhances security by implementing measures such as multi-factor authentication, encryption, and file lifecycle management.
With ownCloud's control over access to your data feature, you can provide your team with an easy, adaptable yet secure method of sharing files and folders. This includes enabling secure involvement of external contacts with selected documents and sharing public links protected by passwords and expiration dates. Thus eliminating concerns over slow VPN connections, unversioned email attachments or questionable security of public clouds.
