[AusNOG] Cloud File Servers?

[Karl Hardisty]

OwnCloud is an open-source (or commercial) option. It's still not feature-comparable with the likes of Dropbox and Syncplicity, but they're pushing out updates quickly. We've built a solution for a large agency here who use it, and about to do so for another. 

Syncplicity is good (we use it for a couple of clients) but beware the sometimes not-quite-accurate syncing when first setting up.
