ownCloud 7 ensures privacy, security and control and now adds the flexibility to share like a public cloud<\/em><\/p>\n

Lexington, MA \u2013 July 23, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 ownCloud, the world\u2019s most popular\u00a0open source file sync and share software<\/a>, today released\u00a0ownCloud 7 Community Edition<\/a>, enhancing sharing and collaboration while maintaining security and privacy \u2013 and especially control \u2014 over files.<\/p>\n

ownCloud 7 Community Edition\u2019s unique Server-to-Server Sharing enables users on one ownCloud instance to seamlessly share files with users on a different ownCloud installation without using share links. Both users retain the privacy and control of a private, hosted ownCloud, but gain the flexibility and ease-of-use of a public cloud.<\/p>\n

ownCloud 7 also gives end users a \u201cDropbox-like\u201d experience \u2013 complementing the security and privacy on the back end \u2013 with an entirely new web interface, mobile web browser support, file activity notifications in emails or the activity stream, and significant performance improvements.<\/p>\n

\u201cServer-to-server sharing is a game changer, allowing individuals \u2013 and organizations \u2013 to more easily share across private clouds, while still maintaining complete control of their data,\u201d said Frank Karlitschek, founder and leader of the ownCloud project. \u201cAt the same time, added or improved installation and configuration wizards, completely overhauled sharing, and a new user interface significantly simplifies the ownCloud experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

ownCloud Community gives enthusiasts and technical users a free, secure and innovative way to sync and share data from the storage of their choice. With more than 1.6 million users worldwide, ownCloud offers ease-of-use, flexibility, sophistication, privacy and security unmatched by consumer-grade applications. ownCloud installs easily on a web server, enabling anyone to host their own file sync and share software, using their own storage (and\/or cloud storage if they choose), instead of relying on third parties with files stored outside of their control.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all the snooping, outages, questionable Ts and Cs, and legal challenges of things like Dropbox and Google, I prefer using ownCloud to sync my files across devices and share them \u2013 privately \u2013 with my friends and family,\u201d said Alan Clark, a long-time ownCloud user from Utah, United States. \u201cownCloud was a breeze to install on my server while the Apps and web interfaces make it simple for my friends, family and I to share my photos and documents. And now, with server-to-server sharing, I can combine my ownCloud instance with the one at work and have seamless access to my work files too.\u201d<\/p>\n
