Sharepoint-like application that doesn't cost a huge fortune?
-
We are looking for something similar to Sharepoint,
Our goal is an on-premise solution which can act as sharepoint/dropbox (where files show revision) and the ability for us to assign moderator to each group/department. We prefer something that might cost less while deliver certain degree of functionality (such as drag&drop for uploading files, revision, moderator/admin per Folder/group, etc) I know this is quite vague, but if you know any program that does this -
ownCloud will come mighty close to that. Another you may want to check out is Alfresco, but I know nothing about that one.
-
ownCloud is, I think, the closest for you and is fully free and I have a deployment guide to follow for getting started.
Alfresco is decent for a lot of the web functionality of Sharepoint.

can you share the link.

Why don't you want to use Sharepoint? It's free for the functionality you've listed, I believe.

ownCloud is at https://owncloud.org/ (or https://owncloud.com)
and
Alfresco is at https://www.alfresco.com/community

Someone feel like making a guide to get the libreoffice online tools installed along with that?

I was amazed at how powerful Sharepoint is for something they basically throw in if you buy even just 1 hosted Exchange account.
It's basically a free-ish add-on to all their Office 365 Business products.
But of course if you aren't using any of those, it isn't so cheap, I guess.

only free for the Low end business line, not the E1 line.

Does it has to be CentOS? I now ownCloud9 no longer support Windows natively

Because the feature we want required paid Sharepoint. Fre version is not enough

Doesn't have to be, but why consider anything else? CentOS is a great platform and the recommended one from ownCloud.

Did you list this feature and I missed it?

I did not
This is from http://mangolassi.it/topic/8020/what-is-intranet-as-in-folder-structure where I asked about intranet. So now we are in full pursuit of this concept, aka sharepoint. We are looking for a version control, moderator rights (or power users), drag&drop ability, widget or plugins, authentication, etc. To me it sounds like we are creating a local website to announce events, forms, request, while act as file share as well.
We assigned one of our dev to do a test run on sharepoint (free). His report is that it is difficult to maintenance. He said that some features he need are only available on the paid version. I don't know if I should try sharepoint myself just to see what he meant, or go with what he said.So now we are going to have a demo with another vendor (https://www.interact-intranet.com/product/features/intelligent-intranet/). This intranet is not my project, but I feel that we are missing out on something. Paid version is not a problem as long as we receive support as well, thus sharepoint which is only for license is excluded (or at least that's what I think why it is excluded).

You should at least find out which features are missing. That is likely important.

I will do that and update the thread.

Exactly - How can you provide options when you don't know what was missing before?

Ignore this thread. I think I was misinformed. I will drive into Sharepoint Foundation and see what's the issue with it. Thanks all
