Nextcloud – is it the closest there is to a full (not simple) private cloud?

3 pointsby zafar1over 5 years ago
When it comes to a cloud, I&#x27;m trying to go away from Dropbox and GoogleDrive as I want more privacy and more control over my data.<p>I&#x27;ve looked into Nextcloud but it&#x27;s far from being straightforward. I feel most people here are quite technical so they might not realise it.<p>Is there anything that you could recommend as a substitute to Dropbox that just &quot;works&quot; ? some kind of out of the box private cloud solution?<p>Thanks!

Look for the nextcloudpi project (I have submitted a couple of patches and use it for 2+ years) if you want a straightforward installation and deployment for self hosted nextcloud at home.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ownyourbits.com&#x2F;nextcloudpi&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ownyourbits.com&#x2F;nextcloudpi&#x2F;</a>
