OwnCloud Introduction#
Cloud computing has emerged as one of the leading technologies for those who want to optimise internal routines and gain competitive potential. Among these technologies, OwnCloud stands out.
OwnCloud is an open platform that enables greater productivity and security in digital collaboration. It basically offers file sharing within companies in a very secure way.
Cloud services are more scalable, give the company the ability to increase its mobility and can be customised according to internal demand.

The cloud can reduce operational costs and integrate teams to increase productivity.
OwnCloud offers unsurpassed transparency, security and control and users can access company files quickly and easily from anywhere and from any device, increasing both security and productivity.
What is OwnCloud?#
Owncloud is a cross-platform file storage and synchronisation service that can be installed on our server.
With it, any user with an account can upload information and it will be synchronised with other users on any of their devices.

The main difference between Owncloud and other cloud storage services is that being installed on our own hosting gives us great freedom to design our own cloud storage system and allows us to have control over many other aspects related to privacy.
What is OwnCloud for?#
The Owncloud cloud storage system has many features.
Info
OwnCloud's basic function is to upload and download files. It also has a very user-friendly interface, making it easy to use.
It also has different modules that add and extend the functions, making our service more complete.
Owncloud synchronises files and folders with all our devices, helping us to access all our documents as quickly and easily as possible.
It also has the function to connect to external storage media such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
This system also helps to protect our files, as it has a module that can encrypt all the data uploaded to our server, thus preventing us from being spied on.
On the other hand, Owncloud also allows us to share our files with other users or with the outside world through a module.
Another interesting functionality is the possibility to view and edit PDF and OpenDocument files online and in the latest versions it also supports Word and OpenOffice documents.
There are also other modules that will help you to adapt your Owncloud to your company's or your own needs.
