Ah, and I almost forgot - when I was looking into setting up a cloud storage
service for the people here at work, I investigated two other projects that
seem a whole lot nicer than ownCloud: Seafile[1] and Pydio[2].
Pydio is a very mature and scalable product, but it's probably overkill for a
personal storage server.
Seafile's interface is very nice, but I found its documentation a little
confusing. It has group collaboration features such as a personal wiki that
you may or may not find useful. You might have more luck with it than I did.
My project was eventually scuttled, so that's the extent of the experience I
got with the two of those.
