Slightly related, has anyone moved off Google Drive and into NextCloud or similar and been happy with it?
I'm losing access to the unlimited Google Drive storage that my uni provided and trying to figure out where I should move to.
A NAS would be great but at this moment I'm too nomadic to want to worry about that.
I'm fine with paying but would rather pay an organization that's very respecting of privacy and less likely to nuke your account without warning if you do something they don't like.
Only need a few hundred GB of space.
- IceWreck 5y agoNextcloud is too slow and bloaty. I'm using https://filebrowser.org/ https://filebrowser.org/ You can run it on a VPS, NAS or homeserver. If you want something managed, you can pay Hetzner for managed nextcloud.
- Hamuko 5y agoI switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, and within a couple of months from Nextcloud to Google Drive. Really didn't like the software and it was so slow since I wasn't self-hosting it, but renting it from Hetzner. Currently thinking of switching from Google Drive to Syncthing, since the new Google Drive clients suck and Google is going to be making my service worse with the new G Suite changes.
- cma 5y agoThe new Google Drive client is horrible with lots of files. It is doing something very wrong in its sqlite database and completely killing performance of the drive where AppData lives, even if the Google drive folder is on a different disk.
- ricktdotorg 5y agocan confirm this exact behaviour. its supposed to do intelligent caching/streaming but as mentioned in parent, my DriveFS %APPDATA% filled up with hundreds of GB of temp files. had to uninstall, deltree, reinstall to fix. bit of a pain.
