So I need some kind of cloud storage for work, however I want to move away from Google Drive (obviously). While I started my deGoogling journey by switching to Proton Unlimited, I am now looking to decentralize services from Proton, especially Proton Drive.
I have already tried the “put it on a hard drive and carry it around” route and unfortunately, it is just not working.
So the two Drive alternatives I have found are NextCloud and Filen. I would love to hear people’s opinions on each (good and bad), and I am also open to any other suggestions.
I have Nextcloud, and it was running as a snap in a laptop, then a desktop, then a VM. It’s 12 years old now, no loss of files, about 2 TB stored.
Moving it from a snap to an AiO install is always, like, the fourth thing on my to-do list. The snap always decides to update at the least convenient times and takes hours!
Still, 12 years… Says something.
