I do care about dropbox, it's the only cloud system that works well on linux systems . It used to be overpriced but now the pricing is good.
Also Google Drive is terrible on Windows if like me you have a lot of files. One drive is limited to 2GB of file size.
Owncloud is great, and avoids the moral complexities of contributing to a board that includes at least one endorser of torture and warrantless surveillance.
… if you have the knowledge, money and time to manage your Owncloud server in a secure way. Since such configuration includes a more advanced firewall, most users will not have the necessary skills I am afraid …
Focused on Owncloud only, the latest version is indeed great! :)
I have tried Owncloud, but I don't want to host a service myself (I do have the knowledge to do so).
But on average it would cost me more than paying a service. I"m trying to minimize my monthly costs, it's hard to beat 8.25$ for a good server for Owncloud.
And yes, I will wear my downvotes with pride. We can't always separate our tools from the organizations which produce them, and we should be careful what behaviours we wish to reward, and thereby encourage.
