Dropbox和ownCloud

Dropbox是一款软件，通过服务器网络同步你的文件，便于不同电脑间交叉引用，从功能说明上看，它还集成了版本控制功能，

一个不错的指南

ownCloud

准确的说ownCloud是2010年1月在kde上开始的一个项目，目标是提供一个完整的云计算解决方案，包括服务器程序和桌面客户端，它不仅仅是Dropbox的一个开源实现，它还可以当做文件、音乐等资源的分布式服务器，也可以同步kde环境的各种配置。

目前ownCloud正在与Gnome沟通，准备合作开发这个项目

There is an ongoing discussion on a Gnome mailing list which points out that : a FLOSS alternative to Dropbox. The Gnome and KDE approach is more towards an collaboration tool, but which is very close to Dropbox. The DE independent FLOSS Dropbox alternative idea came because Google Summer of Code is approaching and both Gnome and KDE have a collaboration tool on their list.

确切的说法是：

This story is not entirely correct.

The stories reefers to the ownCloud project we started at KDE at this years Camp KDE conference in January.
The idea is a complete cloud solution which runs on you own server or desktop or can be hosted by a provider. It will be a companion service to your KDE Desktop. This is more than just DropBox. It will also be a music server, a picture gallery, storage for your KDE configuration and more.

At the moment we are looking for ways to work together with GNOME because collaboration is always good.
