I’m working on moving away from MS Office. Installing LibreOffice was the easy part. However, I also need an alternative for online storage.
My primary use case is off-site backups for the most critical data from my NAS (around 300 GB). Ideally, the solution would also support additional software, helping me move away from non-EU applications. I’m looking for something reliable, easy to set up, and scalable over time.
In my research, I came across Hetzner’s managed storage, which seems promising (link). Nextcloud appears to be a flexible starting point. It offers reasonable pricing and servers based in Germany.
I also considered Proton, but it seems overpriced if I only need the storage component.
Are there other options I might have not considered?
Edit: Thanks for the input everybody. I think I will try out nextcloud for a while and when this is too complicated and time consuming, I might try one of the other good solutions here.
I went with Jottacloud for pure file storage.
If you need some online office functions, nextcloud could be a good solution. But then again there are companies like mailbox or ksuite which, which might offer well integrated solutions.
Sounds like a good solution with a reasonable price for storage. I am a little sceptical, when I read good privacy and ai picture search on the same page. Is this possible without the provider having full access to all the data?
Jottacloud?
Afaik these types of AI operations (e.g. face detection) can be done on the cheapest devices since years.
Pushing images through local models for classification shouldn’t be really concerning. But I would recommend to take a look at the terms of service and privacy notes.
