    Self-hosted, and much more than just file storage (calendar, contacts, ...)

    Self-hosted keeps your data secure. Works great with desktop, mobile and web clients. Lots of add-on apps for mail, calendar, RSS feeds/news, music players, diagrams and more. Share files with third parties. Setup your own inbound file drops. Integrate it with Libre Office or Only Office for a full online office suite. There is more functionality released in every version. A clear winner.
