Why CloudTechTiq for OwnCloud

Self-hosted file sync
— without the headache.

OwnCloud and Nextcloud are powerful, but running them yourself means patching, backups, scaling, and security that most IT teams don't want to own. We do all of that, in India, on Indian infrastructure.

India-resident data

Files never leave Mumbai or Noida. DPDP Act 2023 compliant by default. No US-jurisdiction clauses, no Microsoft tenancy region uncertainty.

DPDP · ISO 27001

Daily snapshots

Full snapshot backups every 24h, retained for 30 days, replicated cross-DC to Noida. One-click restore from console — no support ticket needed.

30-day retention

Collabora & OnlyOffice

Real-time collaborative editing of Word, Excel, PowerPoint inside OwnCloud. No Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace licences needed.

+₹499/mo · 25 users

End-to-end encryption

AES-256 server-side by default. Client-side E2EE for selected folders on Enterprise tier — server cannot decrypt. Ideal for legal, BFSI, M&A.

Annual cost · 100 GB / 25 users

Up to 86% less
than Google or Dropbox.

Per-seat SaaS pricing breaks at scale. A self-hosted instance with 25 users and 100 GB costs you almost the same regardless of how many users you add — Google charges per seat forever.

The longer you use it,
the more you save.

SaaS pricing scales linearly with your team. When you grow from 25 to 100 users, Google bills you 4× more. CloudTechTiq's plan can absorb the same growth with a single storage upgrade — typically a fraction of the cost.

⚠ Substantiation note: Comparison reflects published list prices for India-billed plans as of Q1 FY26. Actual costs vary with discounts, multi-year terms, and specific Workspace/Microsoft 365 SKUs. Workload comparisons available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between OwnCloud and Nextcloud?+

Nextcloud was forked from OwnCloud in 2016 by the original founders, including Frank Karlitschek. Both provide self-hosted file sync and share. Nextcloud is more actively developed, has a richer feature set (Talk video calls, Office, mail), and a larger community. CloudTechTiq supports both — we recommend Nextcloud for new deployments and continue maintaining existing OwnCloud installations with security updates and migration support.

Is OwnCloud hosting in India DPDP Act 2023 compliant?+

Yes. All customer data is stored within India in MeitY-empanelled Tier III data centres in Mumbai and Noida. Files never leave Indian jurisdiction. We provide a signed DPA, automated right-to-erasure tooling, audit trails, and a 72-hour breach notification SLA aligned with DPDP requirements.

Can OwnCloud replace Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive entirely?+

For most workflows, yes. OwnCloud and Nextcloud support desktop sync, mobile apps, web access, secure sharing, file requests, version history, and federated sharing. Real-time document editing is available via Collabora Online or OnlyOffice. Migration tools allow bulk import from Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

How much storage and how many users are included?+

Plans start at 100 GB / 25 users and scale up to multi-terabyte deployments with unlimited users on enterprise plans. Storage runs on NVMe SSD with daily backups and flexible scaling for high-volume organisations.

Do you provide collaborative document editing?+

Yes. Collabora Online and OnlyOffice Document Server are available as add-ons. They enable real-time editing of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly inside OwnCloud or Nextcloud with comments, version history, and multi-user collaboration.

What about end-to-end encryption?+

Server-side AES-256 encryption is enabled by default. End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is available on enterprise plans for selected folders. With E2EE, only the user can decrypt data — not the server. This is recommended for sensitive data like legal or financial documents.

Can we migrate from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?+

Yes. We provide bulk migration tools that preserve folder structure, permissions, and convert documents into compatible formats. Typical migrations are completed over a weekend with a parallel run phase before final cutover.

How does pricing work for 100+ users?+

Pricing shifts to a storage-pooled model. You purchase storage capacity, and all users share it. This avoids per-user licensing costs and makes scaling far more cost-efficient compared to traditional SaaS tools.

What’s the SLA and support timing?+

We provide a 99.95% uptime SLA with 24x7 support from Indian engineers. Critical issues receive fast response times, and enterprise customers get priority channels like Slack or WhatsApp.
