You can also get Nextcloud from a provider. Like Hetzner and IONOS.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

how do you mean from IONOS? I use for webhosting. very happy so far. I just run nextcloud on my own lab. can you integrate with ionos?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah but their office integration is nigh unusable.

I didn't check all these providers, but from my experience most use proprietary software, which is a no for me, especially when it comes to client side encryption.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can use cryptomator on the client side.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

So I synchronize file system <-> cryptomator <-> file system <-> cloud.

And I need additional disk space for the encrypted files.

Please do alternatives for remote backup services (like Back blaze) next. I'm still struggling there

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'm in the same boat, but I've pretty much decided to move my Restic backups to Hetzner Storage, unless something better comes along before I do the migration.

kDrive seems to tick most boxes here. Never heard of them before

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It almost reads like an add, isn't it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pcloud free tier gives 11 Gb, and in your picture it's not included in 10+ Gb circle.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I really liked kDrive for the last couple of years, but their linux client is an appimage, which I have not had the best luck with unfortunately. Been considering looking for hosted nextcloud as an alternative, because I know that client works. I really wish I could just use nextcloud to connect to my kDrive, since their service is apparently based on nextcloud.

Why are people so selfhostphobic?

Like is it that hard to spin up an SMB on a windows machine and run it 24/7?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Cloud providers are going to have multiple redundant backups spread across multiple datacenters. A NAS box with the same level of backups will involve much more work. Theres alao dealing with secure external network access. Theres tons of reasons a selfhost is not the best solution.

Jottackoud is great, but itโ€™s from Norway which is not in EU, so the flag is misleading. Iโ€™m also not sure why itโ€™s marked as non-cross-platform. Iโ€™m using it on Linux.

I really like these graphs.
