> In our teen space the librarians have been using DropBox on the service desk
> computer and the public access computers and laptops. I have nothing against
> DropBox, but I am against having the network's bandwidth getting eaten up
> when someone decides to copy a video file to the DropBox folder.

> So I'm looking for a self-hosted alternative to DropBox, one that could be
> accessed by anyone on the private, wired network as well as by those on our
> public wireless network (with restricted access, of course). It would also
> be great if there's iOS and Android support.

> So far, I found this which seems the most promising: https://owncloud.org/ .

> Does anyone out there have any experience with it or have other solutions to
> suggest?

> Many thanks in advance!
