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 • 22 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Open-sourced, easy to install and maintain, close to feature parity with Dropbox (except Paper). Paour • Feb 2017 • 16 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree It is free, open source, you can either self-host it or use an external provider.

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 It allows you to install it and manage it yourself, utmost customization.

Like calendar sync or event Contacts. CurtisMosters • Jun 2018 Disagree Agree Self-hosted sync means you don't have to worry about having your valuable data in the hands of some random company. 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 allows you to control your data and it has an excellent app system you can use Guest • Apr 2018 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 Like dropbox, but private and with more features. kiminariyamamoto • Mar 2018 Disagree Agree It's a Very Good Thing tm if you dont mind setting up a server.

ownCloud A safe home for all your data – Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more from any device, on your terms. Self-hosted and high quality, you control your data. Guest • Oct 2017 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree 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 • 12 agrees and 7 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 • 5 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.
