Setting up Nextcloud on a self-hosted Linux box is not a job for the casual user, so why not let the professionals do it for you? A variety of very reasonably priced devices are available which ship with Nextcloud pre-installed for you. Given the low cost of physical storage these days, plus the fact that it costs nothing in terms of subscription fees, self-hosting Nextcloud is a very economical approach to cloud storage. It is also inherently very secure, as you have total physical control over the server. End-to-end encryption should ensure hosted solutions which use it are secure too, although this is still in the testing stage.

Looking for a Dropbox alternative? Cloud storage isn’t a hard service to come by in recent times. However, some of these platforms come with unseen limitations. For instance, your data is never truly “private” when storing it with a larger platform. Given that companies like Google are rumored to have the authority to access its user’s data, this can raise red flags for many. Albeit when it comes to privacy, it’s not a subject that should be overlooked. The purpose of self-hosted cloud storage is not to prove its superiority, but rather provide a competitive alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive. And within this open source cloud storage solution, a way for users to have more control over their hosted data.

The main problem is that Nextcloud’s e2ee implementation is still in “alpha” or “testing” phase, with a clear warning which says “don’t use this in production and only with test data!” Given that use of e2ee is freely recommended throughout the site for those wanting maximum security and privacy, we suspect that implementation is more robust than this warning suggests. The Edward Snowden’s of this world, however, should probably look elsewhere for now. How easy it is to set up a Nextcloud instance depends very much on how you want to host it, ranging from something your mother could do to really quite advanced. Once set up, however, Nextcloud is a breeze to use…

Nextcloud gives you access to all your files wherever you are and whatever device you use. The easy web interface allows you to share files with other users on your server, to create and send password protected public links, to let others upload files to your cloud and to get notifications on your phone and desktop when a user on another cloud server shares files directly with you. And you can do all these things from the desktop or mobile clients, too. Nextcloud clients for Android, iOS and desktop systems allow you to sync and share files, in a fully secure way through an encrypted connection. The mobile clients feature automatic upload of pictures and videos you take and can synchronize select files and folders. The clients can handle multiple accounts, show all activity happening on your server and notify you of new events such as the availability of new shares.
