Unmatched security with ownCloud Secure View

The Secure View restrictions prevent the recipient of a file from editing or downloading it, copying/inserting content and from printing the document (can be allowed, if needed). Additional to that, every document has a watermark embedded that displays individual user information. This ensures that it is always possible to draw conclusions about the person who passed on the document (without permission) – even when taking a screenshot or photo.

Unlike competitive, we do more than just hide the download in the user interface, while leaving your documents vulnerable to downloading via desktop client, mobile apps, API, or deep links. We guarantee this functionality and back it up with our Security Bug Bounty Program. Additionally, the document isn’t sent to your browser, it stays on the server with a stream of the document sent to your browser for viewing only.

The protected document itself never leaves the server.
