ownCloud
ownCloud web server core (Files, DAV, etc.)
ownCloud Core is the foundational server component of the ownCloud ecosystem, providing a self-hosted platform for secure file storage, synchronization, and sharing across devices and teams. It enables organizations and individuals to maintain full control over their data by running a personal cloud on their own infrastructure rather than relying on third-party providers. The software supports collaborative workflows by allowing users to upload, organize, and share files through a web interface, desktop sync clients, and mobile integrations. Designed with extensibility in mind, the core platform can be enhanced through apps and plugins that add capabilities such as document editing, authentication methods, and workflow automation. It is widely used in enterprise and privacy-focused environments because it combines open-source transparency with enterprise-grade controls and permissions. -

Kinto
A generic JSON document store with sharing and synchronisation options
Kinto is a minimalist JSON storage service with synchronization and sharing abilities. It is meant to be easy to use and easy to self-host. Kinto is used at Mozilla and released under the Apache v2 license. It’s hard for frontend developers to respect users' privacy when building applications that work offline, store data remotely and synchronize across devices. Existing solutions either rely on big corporations that crave user data or require a non-trivial amount of time and expertise to set up a new server for every new project. We want to help developers focus on the front, and we don’t want the challenge of storing user data to get in their way. The path between a new idea and deploying to production should be short! Also, we believe data belong to the users, and not necessarily to the application authors. Applications should be decoupled from the storage location, and users should be able to choose where their personal data are stored. -

Syncplay
Synchronize your playback over the Internet
Syncplay synchronises the position and play state of multiple media players so that the viewers can watch the same thing at the same time.

When a new person joins they will also be synchronised. -

SyncManager
Sync manager that helps you sync your files across different locations
SyncManager is a custom-made lightweight synchronization manager that helps you synchronize files and folders across different locations. SyncManager lets you synchronize your data in two ways: manually or automatically. Manual syncing mode lets you decide what and when to synchronize data, while automatic syncing mode synchronizes data based on its average synchronization time. It also offers three distinct synchronization types: two-way, one-way, and one-way update, allowing you to synchronize data between folders in different ways. Plus, it has filtering and customizable versioning settings that help you to set synchronization more precisely. You can also decide how to handle old versions of files and folders: move them to the trash, delete them permanently, or version them in a special folder. The utility is operating as a fully automated solution that seamlessly launches at system startup. -
