Foreword

There are many advantages of storing data in the cloud such as ubiquitous access to data from multiple devices, social interaction, sharing with others on the web, and no extra software to install. However, in exchange for this privilege, your data is often stored on, and owned by one of several organizations, none of which easily allow interaction or sharing of data among them. Besides these convenience issues, there are also problems with privacy and security, because the potential of one hardware failure makes the data of thousands of users impossible to access. Taken together, the cloud is not perfect.

ownCloud is the first and most ubiquitous FOSS solution to run on the server or computer of the user, or on an internal company server giving the user the benefits of cloud computing and control of the data. ownCloud integrates with desktop applications, so that the users have cloud features combined with the security and the good cost structure of in-house file servers.

This was my main motivation for starting the ownCloud free software project in 2010 and also ownCloud Inc. later. Aditya is an active member of the ownCloud community for a long time, and I'm happy that he collected a lot of useful information for beginners and advanced users here in this book. Have fun reading it.

His first contact with ownCloud was a year ago when he was just a student, and ownCloud itself was less than a year old, and a part of KDE project.

This book would have been very difficult to write without the support of my family, my parents and my brother, Nishchay. I would like to thank all my friends too for believing in me even when I was full of doubts and for bringing me down to earth when I was too much of me. A humble thanks and appreciation to Frank Karlitschek, founder of ownCloud, and entire ownCloud community for the support I have received throughout the writing of the book. A huge thank you to the entire Packt Publishing team, which made the process much smoother and easier for me.
