    Comments about Nextcloud as an Alternative to Microsoft OneDrive
    Comment summary: Nextcloud is valued for its self-hosting capabilities, offering privacy and control over data. Many users appreciate its open-source nature, detailed customization, and vast plugin support. Criticisms include the complexity of setup compared to Microsoft OneDrive, making it less accessible for non-technical users. While Nextcloud's self-hosting provides a high level of trust and data privacy, some view it as impractical for those lacking resources to manage their own servers.

    Allows you to synchronize specific folders, has a better phone app, grants slightly more storage for the same price, actually cares about privacy.
