ownCloud is a software system for what is commonly termed "file hosting". As such, ownCloud is very similar to the widely used Dropbox, with the primary difference being that ownCloud is free and open-source, and thereby allowing anyone to install and operate it without charge on a private server, with no limits on storage space (except for hard disk quota or capacity) or the number of connected clients.

ownCloud can be installed on Windows and Linux operating systems, and is available via packages, sources, or a one file php installer.

ownCloud; a flexible, open source, file synchronization and sharing solution.

ownCloud is comprised of a server running on either a Linux or Microsoft Windows platform as well as client applications for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (Desktop Client) and mobile clients for both the Android and Apple iOS operating system.

However, it's implemented in PHP, which raises questions about security.

Seafile

C and some Python. Linux or Windows servers, pre-built. Windows server needs Python 2.7.4 32bit !

Seafile is a file hosting software system. Files are stored on a central server and can by synchronized with personal computers and mobile devices via the Seafile client. Files can also be accessed via the server's web interface.

Seafile's functionality is similar to other popular services such as Dropbox and Google Drive, with the primary difference being that Seafile is free and open-source, enabling users to host their own Seafile servers without artificially imposed limits on storage space or client connections.

Download and install python 2.7.4 32bit

Add the installation path of python2.7 to the system PATH environment variable. If you installed python 2.7 to C:\Python27 add C:\Python27 to the PATH environment variable

Yuck !!!

Seahub is the web front end of Seafile. It's written in the django framework.

Seahub requires Python 2.6(or 2.7) installed on your server, and it needs the following python libraries:

django 1.5
djblets
sqlite3
simplejson (python-simplejson)
PIL (aka. python imaging library, python-image)
chardet
gunicorn

Open Stack

http://www.openstack.org/

Open Stack software controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API. Open Stack works with popular enterprise and open source technologies making it ideal for heterogeneous infrastructure.

http://www.openstack.org/software/

Open Stack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStack

Open Stack is a free and open-source cloud computing software platform. Users primarily deploy it as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution.

The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects that control pools of processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center—which users manage through a web-based dashboard, command-line tools, or a RESTful API. OpenStack.org released it under the terms of the Apache License.

Most of OpenStack is implemented in Python.
