Why ownCloud is Best Cloud Collaboration Tool : Features

ownCloud runs on PHP and can use SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL as database. Why ownCloud is Best Cloud Collaboration Tool can not be judged from these points as most online collaboration tool actually are PHP MySQL web application. You can store your files, folders, contacts, photo galleries, calendars on your Cloud Server or Cloud Computing Platform, it supports encryption over HTTP by default.

Why ownCloud is Best Cloud Collaboration Tool

First it is an Free, Open Software with optional paid official support. The support is good point as enterprise users might need a good dev team and instead of bad third party support. The default features, easy installation, mobile device support makes it the best solution.

However, ownCloud has limitation by their own policy of development. It is not acceptable that the free edition lacks features and developers will develop plugins for free and they will lick the honey by supplying as paid product. We observed what eyeOS did – they had almost the same structure of business. Developers must know that, ownCloud can be a second eyeOS by sudden withdraw of the Free version sucking their work. Definitely, nothing can be compared with the structure and policy of WordPress.org.
