ownCloud Infinite Scale review
ownCloud is a German file sync and share platform with a strong emphasis on data residency and on-premises control. Infinite Scale is its modern cloud-native rewrite aimed at large deployments.
What it does well
- +Organisations can choose on-premises, hybrid or hosted-in-Germany deployment for strict data residency.
- +The Spaces model in Infinite Scale keeps team files intact when personnel change.
- +Free personal use of Infinite Scale lowers the barrier to evaluation before commercial licensing.
Where it falls short
- −Commercial use requires a paid licence even at modest scale, unlike some open-source rivals.
- −Advanced governance features are concentrated in the paid Enterprise tier rather than the base product.
Pricing
Infinite Scale is free for personal use but commercial and public sector use requires a licence starting around 15 EUR per user per month, with volume tiers from 25 to 250-plus users; the legacy Server product is quoted separately.
Security and compliance
ownCloud supports multi-factor authentication, encryption at rest and full control over data location including on-premises or German-hosted deployment.
