ownCloud, the company, has announced the release of ownCloud 7 Enterprise Edition. One of the most notable features that make ownCloud unique and better than competitors is its Server-to-Server Sharing capabilities. What it means is that an organization can set-up ownCloud installations on separate locations (such as two universities or two offices of a company) and still share files without using shard links and users ever realising these are two separate servers. This way users get the privacy and control of a private ownCloud, and gain the flexibility and ease-of-use of a public cloud.
European-U.S. data protection agreement: Yet another attempt, yet another failure
The recent agreement between the US and the EU is the third attempt to secure the transfer of personal data from Europe to the US. Holger Dyroff, co-founder and COO of ownCloud, does not see the new regulatory attempt as a satisfactory solution.
