      JulienMercier 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.

      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.

      Most users think ownCloud is a great alternative to Microsoft OneDrive.
      With Nextcloud you control your own data, you are limited by your own hardware and don't have to trust Microsoft with your data.
