I recommend PuTTY.ĭownload Owncloud from the official site: (Not needed if installing to your own PC) Most shared-hosting plans have all of the needed packages installed. Full server requirements can be found here. Owncloud has a few basic dependencies such as PHP5 and My SQLite. This can be one at your house, or a hosting plan (like Dreamhost or 1and1). If you want to try out Owncloud before installing it, check out the live demo site that the dev team set up for that latest version. Of course if you’re going to use it to store sensitive data you may want to use Truecrypt to secure the important files that you upload.
With Owncloud you own the data, and all control over it. The problem is that everything you upload to your Dropbox account is on third party servers, and Dropbox employees can not only access it, they can retrieve those files if requested to (primarily by law enforcement agencies and legal warrants). Why use Owncloud? We’re big fans of Dropbox and Sugarsync here at groovyPost, but I think Owncloud is a better solution, if you have either the know-how or bravery to set it up (it isn’t that hard…).
