OwnCloud

Now we're going to get into our OwnCloud installation and learn the insides and outs of this awesome service! I recommend this highly over Dropbox or other alternatives in file sharing. There are some very good options out there including Dropbox, Google Drive, OneCloud, etc. The reason that I recommend OwnCloud over those options for your church is because it allows you to have one centrally located file-sharing service between many users. I explain this, and more in the video.
