How to Set Up Your Own Private Cloud Storage


Lifehacker has a great article up about how to set up your own private cloud storage with free software called ownCloud if you have your own domain. The article says it's takes 5 minutes. It took me a bit longer than that but it was still simple and works well. The only issue I have so far is syncing with my desktop is slower than I would like. It has desktop clients available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and mobile apps for both the iPhone and Android available for download here. ownCloud also have a site for community built apps to expand it's functionality based on your needs here. If you are looking for an easy way to use your web-domain for storing and possibly sharing your files this a great option that worth testing out.
