The best choice for enterprise file sync and share: ownCloud
A global community that values data sovereignty
More than 200 million people around the world use the open-source file platform ownCloud, and it has been installed more than 200,000 times. On GitHub, over 7,200 people have starred the project, the ownCloud core alone has nearly 500 active contributors. Citrix is closed-source, which means its code is not avalable for public scrutiny. That is also a data privacy and compliance issue, since data could be transferred outside an organizations’ jurisdiction – for which there is no legal basis for example in the EU.
File sharing that integrates into the tools you already use
ownCloud takes a best-of-breed approach to improving team productivity and collaboration. ownCloud is integrated with many other open-source solutions, allowing enterprises to seamlessly embed file sharing into their existing cloud stack. Our in-house consulting team is happy to create customized integrations. With Citrix, you are stuck with a off-the-shelf extensions.
