Syncloud is a local storage cloud (backup server) based on '''Owncloud''' a free and open source software. '''''Syncloud''''' gives you universal access to your data through a web interface or client that you need to install on your device. It also provides a platform to easily view and sync your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more, across all your devices and from anywhere. 

== Installing the client ==

=== Windows & Mac ===
For theses platforms, the client can be download from [http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/ the owncloud download page]. 

=== Linux ===
For Linux, it is better to go via the repositories of the different distributions. Both Fedora and Ubuntu include it. Installation is done in the following way:

==== Fedora ====
<pre>
sudo wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:desktop/Fedora_$(cat /etc/redhat-release | awk {'print $3'})/isv:ownCloud:desktop.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo yum install owncloud-client
</pre>

==== Ubuntu ====
<pre>
echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:devel/xUbuntu_$(grep ^DISTRIB_RELEASE= /etc/lsb-release | cut -d= -f2)/ /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud-client.list
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:devel/xUbuntu_$(grep ^DISTRIB_RELEASE= /etc/lsb-release | cut -d= -f2)/Release.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install owncloud-client
</pre>

=== Mobiles ===
There are apps for Android an IOS available. However, they are not free (~1€). So for this price you can also have a backup of your mobile phone on our server.
