I like to partner with social responsible organisations. Microsoft is far, far behind compared with other competitors, like Nextcloud

The fact that you can install it on your own server is good enough.

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.
