Unmatched security with ownCloud Secure View
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.
