if you are willing to use a rather more complicated system with harder setup, syncthing.net is great, it syncs files between your computers without needing a cloud service.
For more similar alternatives, running owncloud on a VM is straightforward. And, of course the featureset is limited compared to Dropbox.
- fapjacks 10y agoI had big problems with OwnCloud. Specifically it ate files at work, but did so in such an insidious manner (slowly, over time, with no indication that anything was wrong) that I don't trust it to this day. I haven't checked lately, but the issue was acknowledged by OwnCloud devs, with the workaround being to "use a secondary sync application" (no kidding). These days I use Seafile, and I can also say that your suggestion of Syncthing is a good one. I have used and enjoy both Syncthing and Seafile. Just a word of advice: Don't trust Seafile to encrypt your data. Use Veracrypt (or equivalent) in place of the built-in "encryption" offered by Seafile.
