Nextcloud

A safe home for all your data – Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more from any device, on your terms.
- Your data is located on your own Nextcloud server rather than on a server controlled by Microsoft. Also, the Collabora module allows you to edit Word and Excel documents for free. Guest • Sep 2018 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Self-hosted keeps your data secure. Works great with desktop, mobile and web clients. Lots of add-on apps for mail, calendar, RSS feeds/news, music players, diagrams and more. Share files with third parties. Setup your own inbound file drops. Outlook plugin for big file send support or remote upload. Integrate it with Libre Office or Only Office for a full online office suite. There is more functionality released in every version. A clear winner. wizdude • Jun 2018 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees

- Requires you to set up your own server running the Nextcloud server software. This is much more complicated than setting up OneDrive (and similar), which usually just require you to run an installer and register an account. This makes Nextcloud less suitable for non-techy general users. Guest • Apr 2019 • 1 agrees and 7 disagrees

Not good for syncing and sharing phone photos

Comment by luminex

about Microsoft OneDrive · Sep 2016 · Helpful Not helpful 3 Helpful Report as spam

Syncing over phone breaks very often, you need to reconnect Wi-Fi manually for syncronization to continue.
You can't select more than 100 photos to share with friends via link, you need to create a shared folder instead (Ok, done, but why won't tell me about that at the beginning).
No "select all" function in web interface. You must click - very long annoying scroll - Shift + left click over last photo. Very tedious.
Removing shared folder doesn't warn me about removing objects, not links to them! To unshare folder, you need to right click folder and remove link in floating pane.

All that confuses me and makes sharing photos time consuming.

Seems like the service was great and my online file storage still has plenty of room in it. So to speak.

Offers 25 GBs of free storage, but you're limited to downloading 5 files of upto 50MB each time, unless you're using IE.

EDIT: I mean upload (not download), and you can upload upto 200 files as long as you have Silverlight.

Also, Microsoft recently increased the size cap to 100GB.
