Verified User Chose ownCloud ownCloud is better than Google Drive and Microsoft's OneDrive. I have not used Google Drive in some time now, so it may have improved.

Jonathan Hanson Owner in Information Technology at TechEdge Computer Solutions (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose ownCloud I have a very similar experience between Google Drive and Dropbox.

However, my company uses ownCloud as its software of choice, so I use it to remain consistent with them. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Ignacio Gilart CEO in Information Technology at WhiteBearSolutions (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose ownCloud I have used several products based on public (DropBox, Google Drive, Microsoft Drive, etc) and private cloud (Citrix). Most of them work on public cloud space so they could present problems with compliance. Also, it is usually difficult to protect the information contained in … Incentivized Helpful? Martin Malec Coordinator in Information Technology at Česká psychedelická společnost, z.s. (Czech Psychedelic Society) (Cosmetics, 11-50 employees) Chose ownCloud Due to the need to support many external workers it was mainly cost effectivity of open source solution: ability to allow external workers to access company files without the need to pay a license for each of them every month. Unfortunately, ownCloud does not offer until now as … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ownCloud ownCloud's ease of install, maintenance and use as well as a modern interface were major reasons for the choice. Incentivized Helpful? Tommy Boucher IT Director in Information Technology at Coveo (Information Technology and Services, 201-500 employees) Chose ownCloud ownCloud is one of the only self-hosted solutions worth it.
