    Dropbox isn't self-hosted, has a 2 GB limit and is just for storage, while nextcloud is a full self-hosted cloud.

    Dropbox = cloud storage; NextCloud = cloud tools + storage.

    I want to replace Google apps, storage, calendar, chat, office apps and collaboration, photos, notes, etc. Preferably self-hosted. Dropbox doesn't give me any of that.

    NextCloud is self hosted, so you control where your data is stored. Drive, on the other hand, stores your files without encryption on Google's servers. Is one of the simplest ways of replacing Drive.

    Nextcloud and Owncloud are on premise solutions, Google Drive isn't.

    NextCloud is groupware. Google Drive is a file-sync storage solution. Just because they have overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable.
