Recently, the major online disks in China have been shut down one after another, and many students have been forced to migrate files. But the problem is, the domestic online disk service is to stop and stop, there is no one can really make people rest assured, so what to do?

Now the more reliable solution is to transfer files to big foreign brands such as Dropbox or Google Drive, or to buy Office 365 with OneDrive, the safest way is to buy NAS or VPS servers to "build your own private cloud storage network disk"! We have previously recommended that Seafile can easily build its own cross-platform private cloud synchronization disk. In fact, foreign countries also have similar products that have done quite well, ownCloud.

Simply and easily build your own private cloud storage synchronization network disk

OwnCloud is an open source, free and professional private cloud storage project, which can help you quickly set up a dedicated private cloud file synchronization network disk on your PC or server, like Dropbox to achieve cross-platform synchronization, sharing, version control, teamwork and so on. OwnCloud allows you to keep all your files in your own hands, and there are almost no restrictions on using it as long as your device has enough performance and space.

You only need to install the server side of ownCloud on your computer as the host, and you can access and use your own private cloud through the local area network. Of course, you can also configure your computer for public network access, or install it on a public network VPS server to achieve a real Internet cloud storage service.

Cross-platform synchronization, rich features, supporting file sharing and collaboration

OwnCloud supports Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Linux and other platforms, and also provides web version and WebDAV access, so you can easily access your files on any computer or mobile phone.

OwnCloud is not only suitable for personal use, but also suitable for teams or companies that often need to transfer shared files, remote collaboration, and so on. The function is also powerful: it can support file sharing, access to file links, file version history control (file deletion recovery), file comment collaboration, file sharing (read and write permissions can be set), file preview such as pictures, music and documents, open API, support for third-party application integration, and so on. In addition to cloud storage, ownCloud can also be used to synchronize calendars, email contacts, bookmarks in web browsers, and other functions.

It is worth mentioning that ownCloud is quite different from Seafile in that all data files of Seafile are cut and integrated and stored on the server (it is not clear whether encrypted or not), and it is impossible to view or copy the files saved by users directly on the server, which will have a guarantee on security (privacy).

And ownCloud is directly intact to save the files on the server hard disk, the directory structure is also the same as the web version (client), as long as others have permission to access your host, then you can bypass ownCloud to view or copy all users' files directly. However, ownCloud also has its advantages, that is, when one day you no longer want to use ownCloud, or it dies for various reasons, it is very convenient to back up and export your files! At that time, Seafile was a little silly, so how to choose this depends on everyone's actual needs and scenarios.

Because of this feature, ownCloud server also supports uploading files to public cloud services, such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, FTP, Google Drive, OpenStack Object Storage, SMB, WebDAV, SFTP and other remote servers, so it is more flexible.

The ownCloud project uses a classic combination of PHP+MySQL, no matter on your own computer or on a VPS server, basically any machine that can run the WordPress website can run, and installing the server side is as easy as building a station with a PHP program. It is officially recommended to build it under Linux (such as Ubuntu or CentOS). For users with Windows as the host, you can use WAMP, XAMPP and other tools to build a simple running environment. In addition, ownCloud also provides virtual machine files for setting up the environment, and you can run ownCloud server directly in VMWare, VirtualBox, and Hyper-V.

The above is how to easily set up and build your own or team's private cloud service ownCloud. If you happen to have similar doubts, please refer to the above analysis to understand. If you want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
