    OwnCloud is groupware. Filestash is a file manager for cloud storage. Just because they have vaguely overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable.

    OwnCloud is groupware. SyncTrayzor is a "wrapper" for SyncThing, a file-sync storage solution. Just because they appear have overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable. This is not even a standalone solution!

    We tried owncloud but the time to implement was too long. We switched to FileCloud and had good support and were able to go live in 2 weeks.

    FileCloud is the best on-premise solution with a focus on security and user-friendliness. The support is fast and reliable.

    Secure file sharing software with end-to-end encryption. Files are encrypted in-browser, and encryption keys are embedded in the URL, never sent to the server. This ensures file content remains private and inaccessible to third parties, including the software administrator and ISPs.
