Compare ownCloud.online and Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft OneDrive lacks reliable protection of your data. This is different with ownCloud.online.
“Microsoft OneDrive is good for private users. However, the security relevant functions for business use cases were not sufficient which is why we switched to ownCloud.online.”

Only in expensive business plans Microsoft OneDrive offers data security features. The cheaper models are mainly aimed at private users, which is why OneDrive is not suitable for use in the business sector with sensitive data.
ownCloud.online, on the other hand, protects your data to a high degree. Without expensive additional options.
Maximum security through end-to-end encryption and Zero-Knowledge-Principle
Microsoft OneDrive stores your data unencrypted on their US-based servers. Only with expensive additional options can individual folders be encrypted to a limited extent.
With ownCloud.online you don’t have to worry about that: With activated end-to-end encryption and the zero-knowledge principle, your data is comprehensively protected against unauthorized access of any kind.
Unrestricted data transmission
Your cloud you entrust all your data. You want to have quick access to them at all times. Microsoft OneDrive, like many other providers, throttles your transmission speed after exceeding a certain limit.
With ownCloud.online there are no limits: you can access your data at any time with the full bandwidth available. This is the only way to make reliable and comfortable riding look like this.
Advanced legal protection
Legal constructs such as the 2018 CLOUD Act force US-based cloud providers like Microsoft OneDrive to have access to their data when needed. In addition, Microsoft reserves the right and the technical ability to search your data if necessary.
There is no such legal invasion of your privacy at ownCloud.online. Thanks to the German company and server location, your data is subject to German data protection law, which is one of the most advanced in the world. Your data is therefore protected not only technically but also legally.
Cheaper Cloud Storage at the Cost of Your Privacy
Microsoft OneDrive tries to attract users with free cloud storage. The inadequate security measures to protect your data rule out reliable business use. Business models are considerably more expensive and still cannot approach the data protection measures of ownCloud.online.
