OWNCLOUD
Before Diving in installation of owncloud, we must know that what exactly is owncloud and is the purpose of the owncloud in our personal and professional life. well this blog will provide you a brief description about owncloud and its purpose and features. Any individual who is having a basic computer knowledge can easily install and configure his owncloud.
We all used to keep our confidential or personal data in different types of cloud storage services like GDRIVE,DROPBOX and many other storage services. Unfortunately these providers only provide a limited space for free users if you require more space you need to pay amout for additional usage but owncloud is one alternative for all these services. As you can configure and deploy it on any of you computer and publish the same over internet and store you unlimited data with all security and access the same from any where.ownCloud is a suite of client-server software for creating file hosting services and using them. ownCloud is functionally very similar to the widely used Dropbox, with the primary functional difference being that the Server Edition of ownCloud is free and open-source, and thereby allowing anyone to install and operate it without charge on a private server.[2] It also supports extensions that allow it to work like Google Drive, with online document editing, calendar and contact synchronization, and more. Its openness avoids enforced quotas
on storage space or the number of connected clients, instead having
hard limits (like on storage space or number of users) defined only by
the physical capabilities of the server.
ownCloud files are stored in conventional directory structures, and can be accessed via WebDAV if necessary. User files are encrypted both at rest and during transit. ownCloud can synchronise with local clients running Windows (Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8), macOS (10.6 or later), or various Linux distributions.
ownCloud users can manage calendars (CalDAV), contacts (CardDAV) scheduled tasks and streaming media (Ampache) from within the platform.
