ownCloud is open open source cloud, similar to dropbox, only that you can install it on your own computer and keep your files from prying eyes.
ownCloud 6 storms with great new features in version 6, I really look forward to the future.
Not only is ownCloud great alternative to DropBox and similar products but it also extends functionality with many features like music player, calendar app, contacts app….
New features
- Documents ownCloud 6 adds collaborative editing of documents (ODF format). You can upload documents or you can create them in web interface.
- Improved user interface
