More developments in the open source file hosting and backup, or “personal cloud”, space.

ownCloud 5 is now in beta and I just learned about Seafile, which looks quite interesting. Last December SparkleShare 1.0 was released.

With so many commecial cloud services for file storage available nowadays, it’s good to see some open source projects available as well. As an ownCloud user I’m looking forward to version 5 which has a new UI and improved security model.

One day I might actually move on from rsync…
