ownCloud reviews

ownCloud is a robust utility for anyone looking to access & manage their own cloud storage

Opmerkingen: ownCloud is by far the best cloud solution I've tried for managing my data without any hindrances in terms of setup or drive configurations. The utility is silky-smooth across the entire interface & sharing data conveniently via link (with custom accessibility permissions) makes it the most versatile cloud software for fulfilling my productivity purposes.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

OwnCloud instead of DropBox

Opmerkingen: Besides being a "better DropBox", OwnCloud has the ability to use plugins. It has a MarketPlace where you can search for various types of plugins. Most of the plugins are free too.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Good file share and collaboration platform

Opmerkingen: installation instruction are quite good. But you need some expertise to setup several configuration like secure access. Great point. it is completely free and work really well

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Cheap and Good Alternative to Dropbox

Opmerkingen: We have been using ownCloud as a Dropbox alternative for my company for years now. We find that owning our own data is better than leaving it on the cloud. Our installation is not accessible without VPN.

Pluspunten:

Open-source means lots of plugins and support for the software.

Minpunten:

Not as well contributed lately as compared to NextCloud

Great platform with a divided community

Opmerkingen: The software is great. It does its job and it does it perfect.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Great option for collaboration

Opmerkingen: My experience was good. It is easy to organize files, share certain files with certain people and keep confidential files confidential. The easy drag and drop features allows for document migration to happen quite quickly. I also love that I can access files anywhere.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

A pretty great self hosted cloud solution

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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!

Wais-Benin

Opmerkingen: The software is not bad, it is good and it is recommended for data transfers even from any browser of your choice. It's just the level of storage that needs to be reviewed

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

OwnCloud honest review

Opmerkingen: We often have to send large files to our students This process has always been difficult, and we've tried a variety of approaches throughout the years. None has proven as user-friendly and dependable as ownCloud. It has made my life much easier.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Document administration

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

Performance issues with many small files.

Sincronización de archivos efectiva y almacenamiento seguro de nuestra documentación en nube.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

La instalación muy delicada y morosa para https.

ownCloud

Opmerkingen: Eigentlich OK, aber leider zu wenig bekannt bzw. verbreitet.

Pluspunten:

Einfache Bedienung, wenn Installation mal geklappt hat.

Minpunten:

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.

Buon cloud self hosted

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Excelente cloud interna fácil de configurar

Pluspunten:

Das melhores opções internas para quem quer criar a sua propria cloud, com facilidade de integração, facilidade de criar acessos e partilhas! Dos melhores softwares do mercado!!!

Minpunten:

Não há nada que não se possa gostar, existe aplicações para todos os sistemas operativos e aplicações moveis. Excelente!

A sua pórpria Cloud

Opmerkingen: Continua a ser uma cloud que podemos personalizar com a nossa imagem e dar ao cliente a possibilidade de usar a aplicação no seu windows/mac assim como no seu telemóvel android ou Iphone.

Pluspunten:

A facilidade de criar contas e personalizar acessos para cada cliente

Minpunten:

Temos tido alguns problemas com a usabilidade em browsers.

Great for managing files online

Opmerkingen: In general it is a very good tool to manage files between the company and the clients. And thus always have the files in real time both on our side and on the client's side.

Pluspunten:

Possibility of easily exchanging files in a cloud and configuring which users have access to each specific folder.

Minpunten:

Sometimes some files don't sync in real time. Sometimes we have to force synchronization.

Excelente Software para se configurar como Cloud

Pluspunten:

Software de facil configuração e implementação, facil de instalar, leve, versatil e fluido, permite a criação de várias contas para vários clientes de forma aos clientes partilharem facilmente os seus documentos com a empresa por exemplo. Excelente

Minpunten:

Não há nada que não se possa gostar do software, talvez pudessem melhorar a app para mobile.

Owncloud: ogni tuo desiderio è un link

Opmerkingen: Per la totalità delle funzioni comunque mi sento di consigliarlo, è un ottimo prodotto sopratutto per un utilizzo professionale fra professionista e clienti, in cui la condivisione del materiale spesso e volentieri dev'essere immediata e giornaliera.

Pluspunten:

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!

Minpunten:

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.

A good choice for the right project

Opmerkingen: I've used owncloud to set up private storage space and document management for a couple of projects and it's a great piece of software.

Pluspunten:

Owncloud is free and easily expandable with addons.

Minpunten:

While it's more complicated to set up that some of the commercial cloud providers, for people that want more control of their data it's a great choice.

As inexpensive as Cloud sync can get

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Review by Albert_OwnCloud

Opmerkingen: Since I am using the OwnCloud software, it is easier for me to share documents and files with external assessors, partners, or clients; this means that the time efficiency now is higher than using document interchange by e-mail or similar.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Free cloud DIY

Opmerkingen: Having the capacity to get to every one of my documents from anyplace is incredible. I have a few terabytes of documents on my server, more than I would ever store with any of the cloud suppliers out there, in any event not at a sensible cost. When it is set up and designed it is entirely strong and does the activity I require it to do.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

ownCloud or Nextcloud

Pluspunten:

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!

Minpunten:

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.

So Cool!

Opmerkingen: Great software and a great idea for anyone who wants their own self-hosted cloud storage. No sharing, and you keep full control over your data. What's not to love?

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Plattformübergreifende Benutzung

Opmerkingen: Möglichkeit des einfachen Dateiuploads durch Mandanten

Pluspunten:

Sehr gute Dateifreigabe an Externe User. Top Kalenderfunktion.

Minpunten:

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