ownCloud Pros and Cons

One genuine drawback of ownCloud is that setting it up and maintaining it can be more complex compared to some other cloud storage solutions, especially for users who are not familiar with server administration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open source tool makes it accessible to all the people. Simple and easy to use user interface. Easy to add users, configure notifications to mails. The application is available for web deployment and app is available for all major mobile operating systems. Easy to allocate storage user wise. You can login and add (or drag drop) files and share to any user present in the network. It just does have all features required for secure file sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigating, sharing, and managing data on both desktop and mobile is made easy with ownCloud's cutting-edge GUI. Setting up my 2TB NAS drive and configuring its partitions for work and personal use was a breeze. Given my past experience of losing all my data due to SSD failure, performing daily backups became a routine. With ownCloud, I can fulfill my backup and sharing needs without breaking the bank on yearly or monthly subscriptions. I'm also impressed with the upload speeds ownCloud achieves on my 2.5 gigabit Ethernet connection at home, which allows me to upload and share some of my favorite movies and series within mere seconds.

Although I'm generally satisfied with ownCloud, my only complaint is the time it takes to create a new user on the web application. This issue persists on both my office and home networks, and I don't believe it's a network-related problem on my end. Hopefully, a future update will address this matter.
