This guide explains how to install ownCloud (or Nextcloud which is an improved version of Owncloud) in a few clicks on the Web Hosting paid offers.

Preamble

• A cloud system (storage, synchronization, and file sharing) also exists independently of your hosting products: kDrive Infomaniak
• OwnCloud is part of the applications (not developed by Infomaniak) and allows the implementation of a file storage & sharing system within a "cloud" that you fully control (user management, permissions, quotas, associated mobile applications, etc.).
• Unlike other hosts, Infomaniak allows the use of ownCloud on its hosting:
  • Personal use is allowed on shared web hosting.
  • For intensive and professional use, it is recommended to opt for a Cloud Server to install ownCloud or Nextcloud.
