Compare ownCloud.online and Google Drive
Despite encryption, Google has full access to your files. With ownCloud.online it is different.
“We were previously on Google Drive, but the application was completely not optimized for reliable sync. With ownCloud.online we found a solution that suits our business needs completely.”
Maximum Security Through End-to-End Encryption and Zero Knowledge
Google Drive stores your data in encrypted form. The decryption keys, however, are stored centrally as well, because cloud providers based in the US are legally obliged to be able to access your data when required. They are also obliged to grant US authorities access to your data on request.
ownCloud.online offers comprehensive protection against unauthorised and unwanted access of any kind, with end-to-end encryption switched on and the zero-knowledge principle. It allows files to be exchanged securely with internal and external users alike.
Unlimited Traffic
You entrust all of your data to your cloud, and you want fast access to it at any time. Google Drive throttles your transfer speed above a certain limit.
We believe your business should not be subject to limits, and neither should your cloud. With ownCloud.online you access your data at full speed at any time. There are no restrictions whatsoever on bandwidth or speed.
Advanced Legal Protection
Due to legal constructs such as the CLOUD Act passed in 2018, cloud providers based in the US such as Google Drive are obliged to have access to their data when required. There is also a connection to the NSA and other US government agencies.
There is no such legal intrusion into your privacy at ownCloud.online. Thanks to the German company and server location, your data is subject to German data protection law, which is one of the most advanced in the world. Your data is therefore protected not only technically but also legally.
Included Support
In your cloud you store the data and documents that form the foundation of your company. But what do you do when something goes wrong? There is no support hotline at Google Drive – you are on your own.
With ownCloud.online, competent support is included in the price. Within 24 hours we help you by e-mail or telephone until your problem is solved.
You Pay With Your Privacy
Google builds detailed profiles from online activity in order to serve personalised advertising. Your data is an excellent source of detailed information about you and your company for Google.
We believe that business information belongs in a secure cloud that respects your privacy and prevents any unauthorised access.
