The base storage is 5GB which is more than double than Dropbox. The sharing features are superior on Drive including ownership. Also I got the 1TB storage promo from Google. its_saikat69 • Dec 2016 • 7 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Has more free storage then Dropbox. API is more friendly to use (for developers). Can make docs, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. online. woerr • Dec 2017 Disagree Agree Google Drive file stream gives you the best of fast local access (Dropbox style) without worrying about having enough local disk space. wolak • 12 days ago Disagree Agree Google Drive Android app does not allow to edit files: it offers a read-only access.

File-sync Image Preview Share files Support for WebDAV Add a feature OwnCloud is self hosted, not a ready to use solution for everyone. Guest • Jun 2016 • 21 agrees and 16 disagrees Disagree Agree Requires self-hosting, which can be a limit for many. Since a good knowledge of security related matters is mandatory, think twice before using it. However is the best alternative for those not looking for have their data hosted on a NSA server. Guest • Apr 2017 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Nice alternative where you keep control over your data. Guest • Aug 2016 • 5 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree OwnCloud was an excellent Dropbox alternative, particularly if you're setting up your own server and being in control of your own data, rather than giving it up to some giant corporation. However, ownCloud has now been forked into NextCloud, and early indications are that NextCloud will be the more successful long-term project to go for. Keep your eyes peeled, but don't not check out NextCloud as well as this. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 4 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Self-hosted and high quality, you control your data.

Alternatively, you can get services to host a NextCloud install on their servers for you, but then you give that service access to your data. Unless you encrypt client side with something like Cryptomator first. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 7 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Open-sourced, easy to install and maintain, close to feature parity with Dropbox (except Paper). Paour • Feb 2017 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Nextcloud is totally private with a great variety of additional apps, to customize the server fully to your personal needs. And it's all free (if you host it yourself). And there is even no limitations for storage space. They even offer free apps/ clients for Android, iOS and Windows (Phone). Contacts, (shared) Calendars, internal Chat, live collaboration on office documents and soon to come end-to-end encryption - what else would you need?! Guest • Oct 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Secure. Can build federated clouds. Multi-site. For big business and private use as well. Free installation and hosted supported solutions possible. Many additional apps like XMPP chat, online editing, audio/video calls. Auth backends. And: Possibility to integrate into univention for easy management. Guest • Oct 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Nextcloud can be privately hosted on our own Server/NAS/Raspberry Pi which gives *us* the control over *our* files.

With Dropbox or other you must download to PC and then to the cloud. Also all calendar and contacts are here. All things on one place. larsmuller • Oct 2017 Disagree Agree Open source, decentralized, and not owned by some millionaries ! Guest • Oct 2017 Disagree Agree Fundamentally Nextcloud is Dropbox on steroids. keithnewman • Nov 2017 Disagree Agree You have full control of your data, no one can see your files. You will not get ads based on your data :) Guest • Nov 2017 Disagree Agree It's free software allowing you to deploy on the cloud, on a raspberry pi or ona big server depending on your needs. Vibrant community for support and no danger of getting locked out of your data. Guest • Nov 2017 Disagree Agree Nextcloud is my cloud on *my* hardware under *my* control.

543 Like MEGA Good alternative? YES NO You hold the security keys for 50 GB free storage, unlimited desktop sync bandwidth, and 10 GB per month of free bandwidth for sharing with other accounts. Freemium $ $ $ Mac Windows Linux Web Android iPhone Blackberry Android Tablet ... Windows Phone iPad Blackberry 10 Chrome Firefox AES encryption Cloud sync End-to-end encryption Encrypted backups ... File-sync Works Offline Selective synchronization Shared folders Add a feature MEGA ostensibly offer a more privacy-oriented solution. They give you 50GB for "free" and say that your files are encrypted before they leave your machine, and therefore you benefit from end-to-end encryption. This would be a good model, for sure. But Mega has also had weird controversies, slow speeds and security flaws found in its code. Go for Sync.com, Tresorit or Spideroak instead. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 12 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree Agree It can run across multiple platforms that are basically what we have and it is often used by uploaders all around the web. Guest • Sep 2017 Disagree Agree MEGA feels more like a file-sharing site. Rather than a sync tool. Guest • Jun 2015 • 5 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Love, love, love Mega. Lots of space and fast servers. Plus they have a great Linux client with a simple GUI. You aren't going to do a lot of sharing with 10 GB per month bandwidth, but it's perfect for storage and syncing files with a tablet or phone.

Install Syslinux Sync Network Drive Team Collaboration Add a feature Although Seafile.de works with a slightly more complex client than does Dropbox, it also has more options. Importantly, it's open source, unlike Dropbox. Also, storing files using Seafile.de 's services mean your data is stored in Germany, which has stricter privacy laws. Note: Whilst Seafile does offer client-side encryption, at the time of writing this encrypts only file contents, not names or metadata. (Dropbox doesn't offer this at all, however.) Guest • Nov 2016 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Accessing your files via the website is very similar to Dropbox. Low prices, European privacy laws and open source clients compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux. Within Europe, upload speeds of the order of 1-2MB/s, download speeds 1-6MB/s depending on number of files. I got similar speeds with Dropbox in UK. Use together with Cryptomator for max privacy.
