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.

You can have your own OwnCloud server on-premises. SSO authentication and Custom branding make a great integration with internal tools.

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.

Experience is overall positive as the benefits typically outweigh any difficulties. Data sovereignty and geo-fencing regulations are some of the main reasons I consider using ownCloud.

Structurized Admin Panel. Perfect for private users and companies with enough money.

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.

I love owncloud, i been there almost since it born, and I'm using it now, actively participating in the community.

When first added, there were a few errors that I had to have my host sort, because I couldn't find any documentation on them for the OwnCloud.

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.

None has been as easy to use and as reliable as ownCloud.

It seems management had some terrible ideas which is why all the mind-share seems to be behind nextcloud these days.

We have had ZERO issues with this software, works great and is also a perfect alternative to store documents that others need to access.

When I implemented ownCloud, it was a neat opensource platform with an active community, with the option of solid support at a fair price.

Good while still community oriented, now a dead-end product.

We used Owncloud as our backup storage of our organization documents. I liked the ease of upload, share and version control.

One had to zip it before uploading which was a little time consuming. But for single files there was no such problem.

Overall the product is good, and a number of addons provide good expanded integration and functionality.

For a free solution it is one of the best choices in the opensource world.

It is your own server so it is the best to secure by your own way.

We're very satisfied with OwnCloud considering the price we pay for it. We're not considering to move out of it in the next coming years.

Controlling your own data, while enjoying much of the benefits of the likes of dropbox or onedrive. Ability to link mobile phones and sync contacts and calendars.

The support costs of the simple ownCloud web interface with drag-drop file uploading were one-time only. Performance was good enough, support was cheap enough, and it was fine for what we used it for.

While I'm sure OC is good for Enterprise clients, our experience was that it was ONLY for enterprise.

Being an Open Source, you can find information on the network, and in this way it can be violated by knowing how it is installed and configured.

The program has a user-friendly interface that makes it simple to save, sync, and share files among many devices.

When it is set up and designed it is entirely strong and does the activity I require it to do.

Overall, we decided to leave OwnCloud in favour of NextCloud. NC has a faster development cycle and seems to listen to the community more when it comes to what they focus their efforts on.

Especially when you then have to share the items, the custom link based of our domain was a nice feature.

Past its prime and headed the wrong direction.

Good service but no other service like nextcloud.

The Website makes the design of the software look very modern, but in reality it is a bit boring.

Multi-language is supported on the web interface but is not available on the desktop client as far as I know.

I am surprised by the low price (I think it has been $49/year for several years now), so it is a great service for the cost.

This is the most terrible experience I made with clouds.

Sync is great for uploading, editing and sharing files with coworkers, although NOT for editing in real time. The desktop application is handy for quick access to the files.

The price is right, surprisingly lower than expected. Getting started takes five minutes and the easy to navigate interface looks like it just dropped yesterday.

I found it very easy to navigate the platform and was able to quickly upload files of various standard formats: pdf, jpg, word, and excel.

It's a cloud service that is well-priced and with many great security features for sharing files.

The only downside I find is the conflicted files when two or more people are working on a document at the same time.

It saves everybody time, and it keeps things more organized. It also gives me peace of mind knowing that all of the data is encrypted and secure.

I like that I feel more confident our files are now secure and that it isn't breaking the bank.

It's really hard to find cons for this cloud service.

The browser panel is also not able to reconnect to the cloud once the Internet connection is lost.

A friend who worked for GCHQ reckoned they were the most secure of any of these systems.

In fact, we were able to pinpoint some bad data coming from the data source. SyncWith connected easily to the API address, and brought the data back perfectly.

With Backblaze my average upload speed over an extended period of time is around 100GB a day. Sync's pricing is attractive but these speeds make unworkable for me.

Sync has given me the safety of mind to know that my documents are backed up on a free cloud service.

I love this software - it's fast and inexpensive. It's simple to use and there is an app.

Additionally, the interface is easy to use and navigate, making it simple to access and manage your files.

We share files among a team and needed a solution that would allow us keep doing that in a user-friendly way. We also needed it to be secure.

The cost can be a bit steep, but I believe it is worth the investment for those who need a secure and reliable cloud storage solution.

You can try  it out for free for ever as long as you want if you do not need too much storage space or too may concurrent links or too much history saving.

Also, I can access my documents very easily from anywhere, including my phone. It is great and the price was about half that of dropbox.

We like that we can share folders with our clients, and clients can also securely upload files into shared folders.

The data upload via the browser panel is just pure pain. Watching the upload progress from Europe to the sync.com servers in Canada makes me cry bloody tears:  it is just so terribly slow, slooooooow.

We realized the benefits of secure and reliable cloud storage with sync. We have really made progress and improved our reputation by using their wonderful file sharing feature.

Affordable pricing, easy to use system, supports multiple platform.

It is cheaper than alternatives, but it still has strong encryption and best security practices. The interface is easy to use, and it is easy to share folders with other users/collaborators.

I have hardly  ever had to look at the help it is so intuitive. It gives you 5Gb free to start with but you can increase this to 15Gb if you recruit others to use it.

The only thing I miss is on the iOS app is a search function.

My overall experience with Sync.com has been excellent.

For those with security concerns, Sync.com is an excellent choice due to its end-to-end encryption. In terms of pricing, Sync.com is also competitive compared to other similar cloud storage providers.

This platform is a great low cost (free) tool for backing up data files to the cloud in a safe and secure format.

This cloud storage service is simple, affordable, and secure. It does everything you need it to do.

When we do file sharing with clients, the interface is intuitive, so we never have to guide them through the process.
