Owncloud also has functions for storing pictures, contacts, and a<br />
calendar.<br />
<br />
Anything stored in OwnCloud can be shared. You can share things <br />
<br />
* with another OwnCloud user (on the same system)<br />
* with a group of users (on the same system)<br />
* with anyone, via link<br />
<br />
Sharing via link means you can share documents with people that aren't<br />
OwnCloud users. Links can be password protected, and you can have<br />
them expire after some set period of time. For example, here's a document I've [https://share.mayfirst.org/public.php?service=files&t=50a227baa1fe87403ab34728feeeae48 shared]. This link should remain valid until 2/1/2015.<br />
<br />
There are client applications to synchronize files between OwnCloud and<br />
your computer or mobile device.<br />

Overall, it's a pretty cool piece of software.</div>SteveR
