I’ve been trying out a lot of different applications lately and wanted to see what there was in store for open source cloud storage solutions. I’m aware of Proton Drive, MEGA, NextCloud, and TrueNAS; though right now just using the first two. What services have y’all been using to fight against Big Brother?
I needed something for storing important documents and installed nextcloud. After adding a single file I was reminded of just how much I hate SharePoint and removed it again.
What benefit do you get from storing files in nextcloud over just using a file system directly?
Sometimes it’s handy to be able to share larger files with just a link, but for the most part it’s just syncing folders on my desktop and laptop, and giving me access to those files my iphone. I don’t generally use it for off-system storage.
