Users appreciate its integration across various platforms such as smartphones and different operating systems.

    Basic installations of Nextcloud have similar features, but after adding some apps you can get much more from nextcloud than from google

    Offers all majors features, plus it's self-hosted (=data under control), but can be a bit tricky to set up for a non tech-savvy.

    I like Proton Drive as an alternative to Google Drive because of its privacy-first approach to serving their users. Like Google Drive, it provides apps to download to the desktop and mobile devices. You can also set the desktop app to automatically sync selected folders.

    kDrive respects your privacy. It's Swiss made, cheap and you have 2TB of storage. Plus other cool features. The best cloud storage in my opinion !
