Nextcloud — open source alternative

Self-hosted Dropbox and Google Drive alternative — files, calendar, contacts and more.

Strengths

  • Strong privacy and encryption features.
  • Works well on small home servers or enterprise deployments.

Weaknesses

  • Performance depends heavily on setup (PHP + DB tuning).
  • Many features come from third-party apps with variable quality.
  • Mobile photo sync occasionally needs manual fixes.
