Replacing Google Drive is the hardest for me. I'm not a fan of the nextcloud bloat, Seafile is hard to setup. Didn't expect this to be the largest struggle of the whole process.

Not a fan of Proton's CEO. (link)

Once proton integrates an office suite I'll be all set. (It's in the road map. When? Who knows?)

Iโ€™ve recently found Filen and it seems to be working well.

Nice suggestion!! I was fully on board until I realized it's not a self-hosted application :D I have some resources available on a server so I want to look in that direction for a possible solution.

Oh, right! Have you looked into Owncloud, the parent of Nextcloud that claims to be free of the bloat of its child?

[โ€“] myrmidex@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

No I haven't. I ran it a long long time ago, haven't kept up with the project since nextCloud. Worth a look, thanks!

I used nextcloud for a while but ended up with a combo of syncthing and filebrowser to similar effect

Nice tip, I'll look into that!

I'm considering kdrive based on prices.
