ownCloud

Avantages

ownCloud offers a state-of-the-art GUI to navigate, share & manage my data with ease on mobile & desktop. Setting up my 2TB NAS drive into ownCloud & configuring my partitions exclusively for work & personal use proved to be an unchallenging task. Ever since I've lost all my data due to internal SSD failure, it was second nature of me to perform daily backups of my computer to avoid such catastrophe. This utility suits my backup (& sharing) demands as it doesn't have to cost me a small fortune for annual or monthly subscription. Moreover, I'm really amazed by the upload speeds ownCloud can reach on my home 2.5 gigabit ethernet as it takes me mere seconds to upload some of my favourite movies or series for sharing & streaming.

Inconvénients

The only gripe I have with ownCloud is the time it takes to create a new user on the web application. I doubt it's a network-related issue from my end as it's noticeable on both my office & home networks. Perhaps a future update will resolve the matter.

Avantages

OwnCloud is wonderful. It runs on your own server so the only limitations to the amount of storage space you have is the amount of disk space on your server. You can create public links with or without password protection, and you can schedule the link to automatically deactivate. You can have as many synchronized folders as you want (not just one like DropBox). You can share each of these folders with different people or groups, and you have full control over the type of access: read only, write only (drop box), or read/write. Best of all, OwnCloud is an open-source product and it's all absolutely free.

Inconvénients

OwnCloud has an automatic update feature but I've had it fail more times than I've had it succeed. It's not all that hard to upgrade manually, but an automatic update would be much much nicer.

Avantages

The main pro is that this platform is open, the cons is that you need to have good skill to deploy it and configure. Globally most of the feature work really well like the cloud storage, that has a really good access through web, client and mobile app. Nice also the feature to integrate your mail, calendar, food task manager. Integrated editor for document is quite difficult to install. Beware cause you need to have a good machine where to install, with enough resource to make the service reliable

Inconvénients

Owncloud has become a minor stream of this project. Mostly Nextcloud is the new evolution with more update and feature.

Avantages

This software is great for office sharing and collaboration. Considering we have remote employees, I can upload a document and they instantly have access to it. It also does not take up a ton of bandwidth space like Dropbox is known for.

Inconvénients

There were some features that it did not have that we wanted.

Avantages

It's great to have autonomy on your cloud. You can get file storage that adapts to your very own infrastructure, plus it has a lot of plugins to interact with your data.

Inconvénients

At some point the community divided and the product was forked, which left the people that uses it with two choices.

Avantages

ownCloud is very easy to set up and get going using docker. installed it on my own home lab, tested it for a while - I specifically wanted the Gallery feature.

Inconvénients

Please dont consider these cons - it’s my own personal opinion. I wanted a very simple interface for managing photos. While ownCloud does this, it brings a large bundle of features in the mix as well. IF you want a complex solution for managing files, ownCloud is a good bet!

Avantages

I believe that ownCloud is one of the greatest products for securely sharing files,  the software is accessible from all major platforms. It's simple to set up and easy to access and find my stored materials.

Inconvénients

- Time-consuming to set up
- Low storage capacity
- Performance issues and bugs

Avantages

OwnCloud has a good community support, is easy to implement and deploy.

Inconvénients

Performance issues with many small files.

Avantages

Einfache Bedienung, wenn Installation mal geklappt hat.

Inconvénients

Leider ist ownCloud nicht so verbreitet wie z. B. OneDrive oder Dropbox. Da wir eine Vollintegration mit MS Office 365 benötigen, haben wir mit OneDrive mehr Vorteile, auch ist das Filesharing, das für uns wichtig ist, mit ownCloud nicht so gut gelöst wie bei OneDrive.

Avantages

It is a good software because it allows me to transfer audio, visual or other file data to my customers, partners and friends. In addition, it's still fast.

Inconvénients

The least appreciated aspect of owncloud software is the weakness of the platform when storing a lot of data

Avantages

La sincronización real online que realiza, el cifrado seguro que ofrece punto a punto entre usuarios que comparten información sea por intranet o la red de internet.

Inconvénients

La instalación muy delicada y morosa para https.

Avantages

Si presta bene alla sua installazione su server proprietari. Il sistema consente di condividere fra gli utenti della piattaforma documenti e file di diversa natura ed è accessibile da diversi dispositivi come computer o tablet.

Inconvénients

L'interfaccia grafica andrebbe rivista e semplificata, sopratutto nell'area di impostazione dei permessi e le policy degli utenti.

Avantages

Il suo punto forte sono assolutamente i link personalizzabili da poter inoltrare esternamente: posso creare una cartella e passare un link ad un soggetto esterno per far sì che lui possa vedere o scaricare o modificare tali file - a differenza dell'autorizzazione che gli stiamo dando - senza far sì che 1. lui abbia scaricato il programma 2. che lui abbia l'accesso a tutto il percorso per arrivare a quella singola cartella, bensì gli posso rendere disponibile solamente una parte isolata, e questa è una funzione davvero ben progettata!

Inconvénients

Alle volte ci sono dei problemi si sincronizzazione fra l'Owncloud online e sul server del proprio pc. Quasi sempre no, ma basta che capiti una volta per non capirci più niente.Infine, l'interfaccia dell'Owncloud online è totalmente da rivedere, molto lenta e ormai vecchia.

Avantages

Ceding control of your files to cloud service providers does not fit every situation and own cloud solves this. Especially when you then have to share the items, the custom link based of our domain was a nice feature.

Inconvénients

Technical ability is mostly required to setup and your system and to update. Auto update is a pain and mostly pushes one to manual process.

Avantages

The software is very user-friendly, it allows you to work with third-party people outside your company while you keep the control over your documentation.

Inconvénients

It is needed a network connection to operate with all the OwnCloud features.

Avantages

It has phenomenal capacities which encourages me keep my work all together, with my associates, I can synchronize every one of the records on various PCs, it's super sheltered since I can encode the documents, has online music peruser, online content tool, watcher of online archives (PDF, OpenDocument), among numerous different capacities.

Inconvénients

The confounded method to coordinate different advances like FTP.

The documentation for the execution of different techniques like FTP is somewhat confounded in comparisson with different instructional exercises.

Avantages

It's great to have your storage in house. The piece of mind that you know where your data is at all times is important, but also, nothing beats local for speed. The clients (I use Windows, Linux and Android clients) make it super easy to sync across different devices - set up once and forget about it!

Inconvénients

I've been going back and forth between ownCloud and Nextcloud (an ownCloud fork) for a couple of years. Started out with ownCloud, switched to Nextcloud, then found out that ownCloud development had caught up and then some, and switched back. Luckily switching is easy but ideally, you want the best of both.

Avantages

OwnCloud is seriously cool. I used it for a few years on my personal server, making use of that storage for my cloud hosting. It was surprisingly easy-to-install, no hiccups or weird configuration problems with my server (I had it running on BlueHost), and the user interface was straightforward and easy to use. I didn't purchase the smartphone app, although that would have been really cool to try out.

Inconvénients

The software is available at no charge, so it's silly to complain, but I would have liked the interface to be a bit less sterile looking. I imagine the paid platform probably targets enterprises that want on-premise, self-hosted solutions and don't care about having a fun and attractive UI, and to be fair, ownClouds UI is super clean and it is appealing, but it would have been nice if it was just a little less "Microsoftey." That's a pretty minimal complaint though.

Avantages

Sehr gute Dateifreigabe an Externe User. Top Kalenderfunktion.

Inconvénients

Zu bearbeitende Dokumente müssen immer downgeloadet werden, wenn man an einem Gerät arbeitet ohne Clientsoftware.

Avantages

This software makes it very easy and RELIABLE to share files with our clients and others. It offers a very easy to use interface and has NEVER failed to upload or download. Prior to getting this tool, we struggled with method for sharing (especially large) files with our clients. Once our IT dept got a hold of ownCloud and customized it for our use, my life got measurably easier.

Inconvénients

The only issue I have ever had with it is when I was surprised by a site expiring. Now, I know it was my fault to set a date and then forget it...but it would be nice to receive a notice when an expiration date is nearing. I have learned how to manage that better, but would still appreciate a notification.

Avantages

A facilidade de criar contas e personalizar acessos para cada cliente

Inconvénients

Temos tido alguns problemas com a usabilidade em browsers.

Avantages

I been using owncloud for at least 10 years. I'm part of the translation to spanish too. I got mad at bugs, problems, etc, but this growed quick and bugs were repaired. Now, is the solution that I use internal in the institution (government) and for my personal customers, for backup. The big pro is that the space its what you can afford in hard drives. Easy to maintain. Secure. With a lot of addons for productivity and integration. Clients for every single OS that exist.

Inconvénients

As same as dropbox and other products, the big con that I found is that every time that the client starts needs to scan all folders. In big folders with a lot of files, this take a while and it use a lot of hard drive. So when your OS starts client will kill the HD until finishing the indexing of files.

Avantages

At the website OwnCloud you can customize your all data and save them in diferent files, this make the access more quickly and easy at any time you want, ther is no losted data at all when you trasfer your files and uploaded them to OweCloud, you put them in the right place.
i consider this website my degital USB especially when i upload my photogtraphy data like backgraounds, effects and frames.

Inconvénients

Actually i don't like the theme of the dashboard it would be more colorful.
