File syncing applications like Dropbox, Box and SkyDrive provide invaluable file syncing across all your devices free but with limits. If you are anything like me, you have data spread across all these services withing their “Free” boundaries which gets to be cumbersome with organizing data across so many services due to the size limitations. Now you can host your own service and break through those limits and at a relatively low cost.
OwnCloud is a free application with the same functionality of other major file syncing services out there but allows you to host on your own, so you are always in control of your data. Their software is free and incredibly easy to setup. Combine with Dreamhosts $20/year (unlimited storage & bandwidth) web hosting promotion, you can have your own cloud for $20 and be up and running in minutes…with no limits to the amount of data you can store.
