- jasonwhittaker 6y agoI think the context was lost here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24724730 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24724730 They did compare it to all of these
- quinndiggity 6y ago"An analogy: there are open source versions of Dropbox for users that don't trust Dropbox with their files (NextCloud, ownCloud, etc.), however this comes with the friction of having to host your own solution. We are more like Dropbox, where we want to create a solution that is incredibly easy to install, manage, and work with." NextCloud: self-host OR pay for a managed option (this means someone runs it for you.) ownCloud: self-host OR pay for a managed option (this means someone runs it for you.) He compared it to Dropbox, Nextcloud, and ownCloud.
- quinndiggity 6y agoIn case that wasn't straight forward - "NextCloud, ownCloud, etc. ... comes with the friction of having to host your own solution" NextCloud and ownCloud don't require you to host your own solution, however you can if you want, which is important. "We are more like Dropbox, ... incredibly easy to install, manage, and work with" Nextcloud and ownCloud are incredibly easy to install, manage, and work with.
