OwnCloud.org – Create Your Own Cloud

OwnCloud.orgAnd services for creating your very version of DropBox keep on surfacing. No sooner had I reviewed one named SparkleShare than someone brought OwnCloud to my attention. This is a service that has actually been around for a couple of months, but it’s this newest revision that’s really remarkable. You can use OwnCloud to view and sync not only your files but also your contacts, calendars and bookmarks across all kind of devices, and it gives you universal access to everything, either through a web interface or a WebDAV. In fact, you’re even allowed to do some basic editing right on your browser. OwnCloud is really that practical.

You might be wondering, though, why people would go for a service like this one when something like Dropbox is so widely available. Well, the answer is obvious if you really think about it. Bosses who want their employees to access sites that are only within their own infrastructures could think of nothing better than this. They’re ensuring people won’t get distracted, and that they won’t end up opening potentially harmful files when they’re at work.
