I worked IT for a small org one summer that used the Synology suite for all their internal operations. It is basically a self hosted completely OOTB clone of Google Drive, Docs, Gmail, etc I now use it personal stuff as well.
Pros:
- All the creature comforts of mainstream suites such as realtime collaboration, comments, history, etc.
- 2-way compatible with Office and Google so you can import docs to and from those suites.
- Encrypted document support
- Self hosted
Cons:
- Requires you to own a synology NAS to host it.

- nvahalik 6y agoI had a buddy that has a Synology NAS and he runs a DB server on it... it's horribly slow. Speed-wise how do these compare? It may not be an apples-to-apples comparison, but it was unbelievably slow even for small operations.
- jmnicolas 6y agoIt depends on your NAS processor. I have the cheapest one drive Synology at home, it's unbearably slow. At work I bought a faster one and it's OK.
