ownCloud.online, Ready-to-Use SaaS Filesharing, Simple, Secure, Hosted in German Data Centers

With ownCloud.online, ownCloud GmbH introduces a cloud solution that combines the advantages of open source and secure hosting in German data centers with the user-friendliness of public cloud services.

The software can be quickly and easily set up, even without IT skills, making it suitable for companies and organizations without their own IT department. The solution is designed to meet high data protection requirements (including GDPR) in order to exchange sensitive personal data.

The hosting takes place exclusively in fully certified German data centers and fits high security standards (including ISO 9001, ISO 27001).

In the standard version, from €15 per user per month, companies get 1TB of secure cloud storage for five users.

Focus on security and easy operation
ownCloud.online is a modified version of the firm’s file-sharing software that has been tailored to meet the needs of SMBs and departments. By combining ease-of-use and security, it also enables businesses and organizations to run their own file-sharing solution, that have been avoiding this step out of cost reasons or security concerns. The solution is, therefore, of particular interest to all industries that need to exchange sensitive data but do not have their own IT department, including doctors, medical laboratories, law firms, tax consultants, architects, consulting firms, advertising agencies and brokers, as well as medium-sized industrial companies with lean or outsourced IT.

With end-to-end encryption, ownCloud.online meets high privacy requirements. Especially for enterprise use, it offers additional security features such as file firewall, two-factor authentication and an administratable password policy.

Individually configurable workflows, guest users and the free iOS and Android apps increase productivity compared to the conventional file exchange via Sharepoint, FTP server or email. At the same time, there is full transparency and control over which files are shared with whom and if the recipient has accessed them.

ownCloud.online is available. Interested parties also have the opportunity to test the software for 30 days free of charge.

“The Talend User Group provides its members with a permanent forum to exchange views on technology, innovations, use cases and many more topics related to the Talend open source platform. As an association, we’ve been using ownCloud for distributing promotional materials, membership management and many more. With ownCloud.online we can also use corporate file sharing for personal data – without the privacy concerns resulting from GDPR,” said Michael van Rykswyk, chairman, Talend User Group.

“As a non-profit association against organized crime, the protection of our sometimes very sensitive documents is our top priority. This is guaranteed at any time with ownCloud.online. In addition, the registration process is particularly easy and hardly differs from known public clouds like Dropbox or Google Drive,” said Giulia Norberti, author, Mafia Nein Danke e.V.
