    You have to know how to set up your own server. You don't have to do that with OneDrive.

    I do not depend on Cloud. I make my own and have total control.

    OwnCloud is just NextCloud with a different name. You need to know how to set up your own server, which is not centralized.

    With Nextcloud you control your own data, you are limited by your own hardware and don't have to trust Microsoft with your data.

    AirSend has everything I want in addition to file management / storage / sharing. OneDrive is fine... just limited + expensive.
