-Advantage: 50 GB of free cloud storage, and the data is not stored overseas but securely on the servers of the University of Göttingen's data center. One restriction: only the web client can be used on studIT desktops, as a full Owncloud folder would cause problems with roaming profiles (overfilled [[en:support:account:homeverzeichnis|home directories]]). This is not (yet) possible at present. This is because the GWDG cloud for students comprises 50 GB, but the student home directory only 10 GB. It could therefore happen that data in the cloud storage fills up the home directory, making it impossible to log in to the computer. We are working with the GWDG to find a solution.
