   Seafile vs ownCloud Comments

   Negative comment by brianlacy · Oct 5, 2020

   OwnCloud is groupware. Seafile is a file-sync storage solution. Just because they have overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable.

   Positive comment by Guest · Oct 14, 2018

   It is similar to ownCloud in that it's self-hosted. Does not have apps such as Calendar, and is not compatible with the Federated Cloud sharing (ownCloud+Nextcloud+Pydio)

    Cozy Cloud vs ownCloud Comments

    Positive comment by brianlacy · Oct 5, 2020

    Although tailored for families, it offers many of the same features as a typical groupware solution like OwnCloud -- calendaring, group messaging, sharing of files & content, etc.

    Positive comment by Guest · Mar 12, 2016

    with cozy you can sync more than just files. like contacts and calendars which is more important to me than file sharing.
