ownCloud is a secure collaboration platform used by over 100 million users. The open-source suite of client-server software can be deployed on-premises or cloud infrastructure and supports file sync, sharing, and content collaboration. While ownCloud integrates with browser-based office suites, including Microsoft Office Online Server, many businesses realize that the emphasis on security has often led to a compromise on performance and usability.<\/p>\n
Consequently, many enterprises that deal with sensitive data or have to comply with regulations and use ownCloud eventually explore public cloud options that can fulfill these requirements. In this article, we will focus on migrating from ownCloud to Microsoft 365\/ Office 365.<\/p>\n
While ownCloud is suitable for niche scenarios in which data sovereignty is the primary concern, Microsoft 365 offers a better value proposition with advanced security features. Here are some of the advantages of Microsoft 365 over ownCloud.<\/p>\n
There are different ways to migrate files from ownCloud to OneDrive depending on whether or not users have the ownCloud desktop app. A gray cloud icon will be available in the system tray if the app is installed on the desktop. Here are the steps to migrate the files using the ownCloud app.<\/p>\n
While ownCloud is widely used by businesses in finance, education and research, healthcare, and the government and public sector primarily to store files, it is also customized by some businesses for other collaboration applications. While such enterprises can switch to Office 365 Government<\/a>, Education, or Nonprofit plans for compliance or discounted prices, migrating to these plans can be challenging.<\/p>\n As a Microsoft Solutions Partner in competencies such as Cloud Platform and Cloud Collaboration, Apps4Rent can help businesses acquire appropriate Office 365\/ Microsoft 365 licenses, assist with Office 365 migration<\/a>, and customize the solutions.
