Nowadays, we count on cloud storage sites to take care of that. So what&#8217;s next in this evolution? <\/p>\n<p>Well if you haven&#8217;t heard about ownCloud, boy is today your lucky day. ownCloud is a personal cloud that runs on your own server. Access your data wherever you are, and whenever you need it. This is also hugely beneficial to resellers; advertise one-click cloud storage directly to your clients. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s just a brief overview of ownCloud; the open source software can be as basic or advanced as you want to make it. Some just use it as a high power FTP or a backup tool for their data. Others take full advantage of all it has to offer. Here&#8217;s some of our favorite features:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sync your data<\/strong> &#8211; Very straightforward interface to sync and share your data on all devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collaborate<\/strong> &#8211; Different offices situated around the world and access, edit, and work on common files together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Integration<\/strong> &#8211; Implement third-party storage providers like Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive and many more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy<\/strong> &#8211; ownCloud is hosted exclusively on your own private server\/cloud so you can rest assured that your data is under your control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encryption<\/strong> &#8211; Added security is added to your files with credential or master key based encryption.<\/li>\n<li><strong>External storage<\/strong> &#8211; Leverage pre-existing storage from FTP, Swift, S3, Dropbox, etc. Admins can decide to store sensitive data on-premises or in cloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h2>Download Owncloud via HostDime<\/h2>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>You can download Owncloud on your HostDime <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/managed-vps-hosting\/\">VPS<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/managed-dedicated-servers\/\">dedicated server<\/a> in just a few clicks. HostDime shared servers are unfortunately not permitted to use file storage tools.  <\/p>\n<p>First of all, you need to have Softaculous installed. Softaculous is an auto installer that has a whopping 450+ scripts and apps in it&#8217;s inventory and they are always adding more. It also handles auto updates of software like WordPress so you never have to run outdated versions. Purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/core.hostdime.com\/purchaselicense\/index\/id\/softaculous\">Softaculous for just the price of a cup of coffee per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Installing ownCloud is easy and fast once Softaculous is incorporated in your cPanel. Search &#8220;Softaculous&#8221; in the top left cPanel\/WHM search bar and open Softaculous. Once there, click &#8220;General Scripts&#8221; under &#8220;Software&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-06-at-12.26.26-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"521\" height=\"507\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-06-at-12.26.26-PM.png 521w, https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-06-at-12.26.26-PM-300x292.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Scroll down to the &#8220;File Management&#8221; portion and click the Install box for Owncloud.
