Nextcloud A safe home for all your data – Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more from any device, on your terms. 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 • 13 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree 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 • 20 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree Can be self-hosted so sensitive content can be stored with much of the risks of Dropbox mitigated. mvrpbrian • Dec 2018 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree NC has all sorts of applications with it. Guest • Nov 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 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 It allows you to install it and manage it yourself, utmost customization. Guest • Sep 2018 Disagree Agree Nextcloud is self-hosted, secure and easy to use! I mainly use it to share files with others through my own server. Guest • Sep 2018 Disagree Agree Your data is kept on your own server rather than one controlled by Dropbox Guest • Sep 2018 Disagree Agree Open-sourced, easy to install and maintain, close to feature parity with Dropbox (except Paper).

Guest • Jun 2018 Disagree Agree Nextcloud is Free, Open Source, self hosted, private, fully functional, highly maintained software, easy updateable. Guest • Jun 2018 Disagree Agree I prefer self-hosted cloud over remote commercial services. emadwebdev • Jun 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 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 secure, open source, self control over data, selfhostable violoncello • 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 Like dropbox, but private and with more features. kiminariyamamoto • Mar 2018 Disagree Agree Nextcloud can be privately hosted on our own Server/NAS/Raspberry Pi which gives *us* the control over *our* files.

Guest • Mar 2018 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.

Vibrant community for support and no danger of getting locked out of your data. Guest • 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 Open source, decentralized, and not owned by some millionaries ! Guest • Oct 2017 Disagree Agree With Nextcloud you can download files directly to the cloud. 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 Like already said, easy to install, easy to use and in constant improvement.

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 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 • 7 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree Agree Self hosted - YOU control your data.

Syncthing Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where... Syncthing is free, open-source, being developed actively. It allows 100%secure synchronization of files between without quota. It does not host files on an external server, which is a good or a bad thing depending on your preference. Guest • Jun 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree If you use Dropbox to sync files across devices Syncthing is probably more secure and you don't have to trust a central authority. Still you do not need to set up a server Guest • Jul 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Cool for syncing your machines. Mansampard01 • Jan 2019 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Syncthing is a service for syncing files between devices, it does not host files like Dropbox.

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... Free opensource with great useful features! Murz • May 2018 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree 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.

IPFS IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the web. It is like a single bittorrent swarm... It's totally different concept between IPFS and Dropbox.
