What are you thoughts on own cloud vs sync thing?

  It seems like neither supports encryption of the data at rest which is a showstopper for me.

    NextCloud / ownCloud definitely support server-side encryption. There's a checkbox in the administration settings.

      Hmm I could not find anything about that on the website. I guess I will have to reevaluate then. Thanks

  I use both Nextcloud and Syncthing, they solve different problems. Nextcloud is great for easy access to currently important files and automatic uploads of phone pictures, synchronising contacts and calendars. The news app is also an excellent RSS reader. Syncthing synchronises the bulk of my data between systems I own, it is much faster at this and isn't exposed to the risks you get with public web servers, but I cannot access those files from systems I don't own so anything I am currently using goes in Nextcloud.
