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.
Proton drive?
Not a fan of Proton's CEO. (link)
Iโve 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?
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!
Once proton integrates an office suite I'll be all set. (It's in the road map. When? Who knows?)
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.
