I host a Nextcloud instance. Tbh Nextcloud runs like crap but it works fine for my one-user use case. As someone else under this post says, it tries to do everything and does everything badly. I would’ve probably chosen something more lightweight and written in something other than PHP if I were doing my self-hosting setup from scratch. But you can always self-host; if privacy and digital sovereignty is your concern, you can’t beat self-hosting.

I’m using filen.io and am very happy

I’m trying https://koofr.eu/ first 10 GB are free. So far so good.

I like Filen. It works just well enough for a little storage and as a classic Drive/Dropbox replacement. And it has some StandardNotes functionality in it too. Everything else (including the photo upload) I don’t touch.

Peergo’s looks like it’s for syncing files between locations, not cloud storage. Ironic you’d be considering it now, because apparently it’s based on IPFS (which just entered a semi-abandoned state).

I have a suggestion, but be careful it is not for the faint of heart, self hosting! Why is it not for the faint of heart? Because you will start with the goal of doing one thing and than that one thing will turn into 2 things than another and another. I have been wanting to get a better self hosted file thing than nextcloud because it tries to do to much so it fails at almost everything but I have found the services I am using all seem to do a good job at replacing it. I have been meaning to find something better at saving files but most of my stuff gets sorted into its own service now.

I would highly suggest getting your own domain name from a host that offers email with a wildcard function, if you do not want to pull your hair out do not try self hosting your own email I found and seems to be the general feeling on the self hosted Lemmy group I am in.

Don’t get near filen. Their speeds are abysmally slow. I switched to usb drives over that shit
