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

    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.
