Compare ownCloud.online and Box.com in Detail
ownCloud.online is the best alternative to Box.com: the best price-performance ratio with real protection for your data.
“Today, ownCloud.online is the cloud solution with the best price-performance ratio on the market.”
Maximum Security Through End-to-End Encryption and Zero Knowledge
box.com stores your data unencrypted on its servers, so unauthorised access to your files cannot be reliably ruled out.
ownCloud.online takes a different route: with end-to-end encryption switched on and the zero-knowledge principle, your data is comprehensively protected against unauthorised access of any kind. It allows data to be exchanged securely, and you alone decide who gets access.
Unlimited Traffic
You entrust all of your data to your cloud, and you want fast access to it at any time. Providers such as box.com throttle your transfer speed once you reach a certain limit, which makes working with your cloud artificially difficult.
With ownCloud.online there are no limits: you access your data at any time with the full bandwidth available to you. That is the only way reliable and comfortable working can look.
German Company and Server Location
Legal constructs such as the CLOUD Act passed in 2018 force US-based cloud providers like Box.com to grant the NSA and other government agencies access to their servers.
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.
Privacy by Design
Box.com offers a number of interesting features, but on data protection and privacy it does not really score. Important security functions are only added from the more expensive business plans onwards. With ownCloud.online, by contrast, you already get maximum protection for your data in the basic plan.
