ownCloud is a desktop application for Windows that enables users to synchronize files between their local devices and the eponymous server.
Storage
Users can specify directories on their computers to sync with the platform. Changes made locally or on the server are automatically reflected across all connected devices including computers and mobile phones. In other words, it is always possible to access the up-to-date data from anywhere.
There is a virtual file system that displays all data from the server without downloading them to the local computer. Moreover, the application integrates with native managers like Explorer. This means that you can access context menus for quick actions to create public or private links.
Requirements
Thanks to offline mode, you are able to select files and folders that need to be uploaded when the internet comes back. Thus, you can still manage data and prepare it for transferring without network connections.
