Three storage upstarts hit back at doom, gloom 'n' layoffs news Amidst the six-way storage startup staff lay-off gloom, another three companies* are going the other way. Exagrid, owncloud and Simplivity are showing the storage market still has a thirst for great products. Wake up competitors, and smell the coffee.

yeah i have an owncloud server hosted on a pi with various computers of mac/linux/windows as well as mobile devices all playing happily with it
the people too were very quick to respond to a ticket i raised, and I know the data is under my roof where i can keep an eye on it
when you put a large number of files in it, the wheels start falling off and they fall off quickly. This is a very well documented problem with own cloud.
Another big problem is with the mobile app. I want my photos backed up. Own cloud will only capture the camera roll and to do so it has to make copies of each file and then upload it. So you have two copies of everything on your phone.
Seafile let's me select whatever folders with photos I want. In my case, camera roll, instagram, screenshots, etc. And it works incredibly well. so Seafile is my choice!
