NOVINET ownCloud is a hosted private-cloud service for storing, synchronizing and sharing files. NOVINET Internet GmbH provisions ownCloud on its servers for individuals, teams and businesses that want provider-managed file storage. Access is available through a web interface, Windows and Mac desktop programs, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. The service also supports file and folder sharing, encrypted connections, daily full backups, EU-GDPR compliance, and open-source extensions and apps.

The named packages are ownCloud S, ownCloud and ownCloud L, corresponding to storage packages of 50 GB, 250 GB and 1,000 GB. Pricing follows a contact-sales model, so buyers receive a bespoke offer rather than selecting a displayed rate. The listed plan highlights are the same across all three packages: 256-bit SSL encryption, daily full backup, EU-GDPR compliance, mobile access, PC and Mac programs, and a web interface. The English product page states a 12-month minimum term, while the German page states a three-month minimum term plus setup costs. Buyers should clarify the applicable term and setup conditions in the quotation.

Platform access is one of NOVINET ownCloud’s clearest strengths. A private instance can be reached in a browser, synchronized with Windows or Mac, or accessed through smartphone apps, while open-source extensions and apps provide room for additional functionality. This makes the service a practical fit for organizations that need private hosting without limiting users to one device type. It is less suitable for buyers who need transparent self-serve pricing or clearly differentiated plan features before contacting sales. Choose NOVINET ownCloud for provider-managed private storage with sharing, backups and broad client access; consider an alternative if upfront price comparison is a priority.
