Your own ownCloud

ownCloud In this day and age where many people are more and more dependant on information, cloud technology offers a way to unlock your information to you, wherever you are, on most any device. However, there's no telling what the cloud companies that you entrust with your information will do with that info - let alone nosy intelligence agencies from various countries around the world. My privacy matters to me!

ownCloud is a free and open source alternatives for many cloud offerings such as Google Drive and DropBox, as it gives you the ability to share and sync files from your own server, but it does much more - added bonus, I say...

Introduction

ownCloud broadly comes in two flavours: the open source, free "community edition" and the open source, paid "enterprise edition". We're going to install the community edition here. The goal will be to have a way to share files between groups of people, most of which will have an account on our server.
