Nextcloud A safe home for all your data – Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more from any device, on your terms. If you don't mind setting up your own server, NextCloud is a great Dropbox alternative because: 1) it's open source, 2) you control your data, 3) the limit of your storage is determined only by the limit of your hard drive. 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 • 18 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Open-sourced, easy to install and maintain, close to feature parity with Dropbox (except Paper). Paour • Feb 2017 • 15 agrees and 2 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 • 11 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.

Nextcloud also provides a bunch of great features like calendar support, and you can set photos to automatically upload to nextcloud from your phone. Guest • May 2018 Disagree Agree It can also share files but has many more features on top. Like calendar sync or event Contacts. CurtisMosters • Jun 2018 Disagree Agree I prefer self-hosted cloud over remote commercial services. emadwebdev • Jun 2018 Disagree Agree Nextcloud is Free, Open Source, self hosted, private, fully functional, highly maintained software, easy updateable.

Guest • Sep 2018 Disagree Agree Private Cloud, installable on many linux/unix Platforms. Personal Cloud software, self-administered. Runs on web spaces, at home on a linix machine and on RasPi, either on Raspbian or as ready-to-use-image NextcloudPi. Additional functionalities avalable via NC-Apps. Keeps your data private. Guest • Sep 2018 Disagree Agree You can now easily set up your own Nextcloud with the NCP installer script for Debian/Raspbian. It takes care of all the install requirements, configurations and settings, that are required to have a secure cloud application up running in minutes instead of hours. Give it spin with Docker or in a VM, you'll be amazed at all the features available. olivervan • Nov 2018 Disagree Agree NC has all sorts of applications with it. Guest • Nov 2018 Disagree Agree Can be self-hosted so sensitive content can be stored with much of the risks of Dropbox mitigated. mvrpbrian • Dec 2018 Disagree Agree Fully open source and can be self hosted Qwertii • Apr 2017 Disagree Agree - self hosted - extensible with apps (calendar, tasks, contacts, phone sync, chat, video conference, notes, bookmarks) - reliable - crossplatform clients - opensource Guest • Oct 2017 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree With Nextcloud you can download files directly to the cloud.

Google Drive file stream gives you the best of fast local access (Dropbox style) without worrying about having enough local disk space. wolak • Jan 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree It has more space than what drop box provides. Plus all the google Services. But Windows - Backup and Sync app is slow. Dropbox app for windows is much better. raveensrk • Jun 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree First of all, Drive is integrated to the core of Android. 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 9 disagrees Disagree Agree Has more free storage then Dropbox. API is more friendly to use (for developers).

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 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree You can stream videos that are on Mega. woerr • Dec 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 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. Guest • Apr 2017 • 4 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree 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 • 16 agrees and 19 disagrees Disagree Agree MEGA feels more like a file-sharing site. Rather than a sync tool.

ownCloud A safe home for all your data – Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more from any device, on your terms. Nice alternative where you keep control over your data. Guest • Aug 2016 • 12 agrees and 4 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 • 11 agrees and 7 disagrees Disagree Agree Self-hosted and high quality, you control your data. Guest • Oct 2017 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Same functionality with transparency and control. riveravaldez • Nov 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 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.

Seafile Seafile is a professional open source cloud storage platform for organizations. It has complete file syncing and sharing features, reliable file storage and advanced... 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.

pCloud Fast and very secure digital asset management platform with a user-friendly interface. Allows you to customize download links with your brand's style and logo.... pCloud is a good alternative to Dropbox because it offers the same functionality with the following benefits: 1. It offers the option of an encrypted folder, so even pCloud employees can't see or steal your data; 2. pCloud is based in Switzerland where privacy rules are far stronger than in the US. 3. pCloud offers a larger amount of free space (5GB vs 2GB from Dropbox.) JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 7 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Data privacy is far better than Dropbox, and the encrypted folder works well. It acts just like a drive connected to your PC, not a folder, so the file is stored directly in your cloud account, and not at all on your device. When you het the larger drives (I have the 2TB), it allows me to run the Built-in backup utilities on the web interface to back up Dropbox, facebook, Google Drive and Google Photo's, giving me an extra level of redundancy in my backups.
