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 • 14 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Open-sourced, easy to install and maintain, close to feature parity with Dropbox (except Paper). Paour • Feb 2017 • 10 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 • 6 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.

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.

Nextcloud is private, open source und free. Guest • Dec 2017 Disagree Agree Nextcloud can be self hosted, so you don't need to trust anyone with your data. Also you can add a lot of additional functionality trough addons that Dropbox does not have. Guest • Mar 2018 Disagree Agree It's a Very Good Thing tm if you dont mind setting up a server. Guest • Mar 2018 Disagree Agree Like dropbox, but private and with more features. kiminariyamamoto • Mar 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 secure, open source, self control over data, selfhostable violoncello • May 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 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 • Aug 2016 • 10 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 • 9 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Self-hosted and high quality, you control your data. Guest • Oct 2017 • 3 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. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 6 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree Agree OwnCloud is self hosted, not a ready to use solution for everyone. Guest • Jun 2016 • 22 agrees and 22 disagrees Disagree Agree

Guest • Sep 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 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 • 13 agrees and 13 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 • 3 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree MEGA feels more like a file-sharing site. Rather than a sync tool. Guest • Jun 2015 • 6 agrees and 10 disagrees Disagree Agree

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. JohnFastman • Nov 2016 • 3 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Free opensource with great useful features! Murz • May 2018 Disagree Agree

pCloud pCloud is your personal online storage space for your memorable photos and videos, your favorite music or important work documents. Freemium Mac OS X Windows Linux Web Android ... iPhone Crypto folder Sync with Box Sync with Dropbox Encrypted backups ... End-to-end encryption File-sync Sync with Google Drive Sync with Onedrive Virtual hard drive Add a feature 61 Like 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 • 3 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.
