Obviously, everyone will recommend Nextcloud. And yes, it works. But it is heavy and can feel slow. I then moved to OwnCloud, the original project behind Nextcloud, which I found significantly faster. After that, I switched to OpenCloud, which is closely related to OwnCloud. It is less intuitive to set up, but it is extremely lightweight and very fast. That is the one I recommend. Depending on your use case, there are plenty of other options as well, such as Seafile, Filerun, Filestash, Copyparty, and [others](https://alternativeto.net/software/nextcloud/?license=opensource).

I've been self-hosting NextCloud and it is pretty good, a little bit slow sometimes and some problems hosting it in non 443 ports, but overral i am liking it

While lots of ppl will hate on Nextcloud, its pretty good. When you do the setup right, with cache and so on set up it's fast and serves its purpose not only as cloud storage but as a collaboration platform where you can edit files with other ppl and much more. If you only want a simple Web App to up and download files there are probably other solutions for that.

I have tried to set up most of the options and I ended up on Filebrowser Quantum. Simple to set up and use. I recommend giving it a try.

I really like [Filen](https://filen.io/). They have an open source app on all operating systems, including Linux, which Proton Drive still does not support. They also recently added support for Rclone.

A VPS with a wireguard-based VPN an syncthing seems nice.

I really like own cloud, it’s easy to configure and it does a good job. The web interface is nice and you can federate between instances making it easy to share data.

I think there are a couple for documents, crypt pad is one, and there is another that's like a french based company I can't remember the name of. Also murena.io I believe can offer an entire suite of cloud options.

> I mostly just have it handling file, 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?
