(http://owncloud.org/) Easy setup and handling.Give me a yell if you need help Awards

In my home (just the two of us) we have an iMac, a Hackintosh, a Windows 7 rig, and a few other odds and sods. I have a couple of servers in the basement (HP ML350's, G5 series), and one of them, my file server, is running Ubuntu desktop. First, there is no difference between the Desktop and server versions other than the graphical interface. The Kernels are identical. A GUI makes it easier to manage. I have 2 RAID volumes plus a direct attached storage box with 4 drives in it. I simply launch the File Manager, and select the volumes/drives that I want to share. The first time a message will pop up telling you that you need to install Samba, with instructions. Once quickly done, select your shares, check the box to have the drive's share remembered on reboot, and away you go. All shares are visible and accessible on all of my systems with no hassle. I also installed Ultimate Media Server (a fork of PS3 Media Server) and my music and audio files can be played on-screen on the big TV via my PS3 (and likely via my hacked Apple TV running XBMC). Let me know if you have any questions. Edited October 19, 2013 by Astronomer Awards

Windows XP/Vista/7/8 with Apache, Windows Server with Apache or IIS, or every Linux distribution.http://owncloud.org/install/If you want it more secure, you may try TeamDrive, it is encrypted by default but there are limitations within the free version.http://www.teamdrive.com/ Awards
