ownCloud

Think of this as your own personal storage locker that lives inside your home. Instead of sending your private documents and family photos to a big company’s computer, you keep them on your own server. It creates a central hub where everything is organized and safe, giving you total ownership over your digital life.

You can set it up so that your phone and computer automatically stay in sync. If you save a recipe on your laptop, it will be waiting for you on your phone when you are in the kitchen. It also makes sharing large files with friends or family very simple; instead of dealing with email limits, you just send them a private link to the file sitting in your home vault.

Beyond just files, it helps keep your daily life organized. You can use it to store your contacts and calendars so they are available on all your devices. It turns your home server into a reliable assistant that keeps your important information ready whenever you need it, while making sure it never leaves your sight.
