Looking to move away from Onedrive. Suggestions?

I looked at sync.com but they dont have a linux client. Any other non-US based suggestions? Canada preferred of course but I'm open to options.

Hetzner Storage Share: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/. Hosted in Germany. It will be your own Nextcloud server with storage, calendars , reminders, and more. And you will be able to install many plugins. For example, you can install an OnlyOffice plugin that lets you edit files online like Office 365.

Oh, and there's a Nextcloud client for Linux: https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud

Nextcloud is the way to go in my opinion. Hetzner is probably the cheapest option except self-hosting.

I'm using https://murena.io/ because they develop my phone OS, so I'm happy to leave behind a bit of money. I'm still saving a lot on having cancelled my Dropbox subscription.

Hetzner works great (I still have the old 3€ 100GB option myself), but they explicitly state that OnlyOffice and Collabora cannot be used with StorageShare in the FAQ: https://docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/faq/additional-apps

I got it working by installing the plugin community Document Server: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/documentserver_community

Depending on your needs, syncthing might be worth looking at. Here's a copy/paste description.

"Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time".

If you have two or more devices, it fulfills most of the same functions. But it doesn't inherently provide offsite storage.

Maybe check Hetzner shared storage. You can store in Finland if you want.

I'm not familliar with other software from Canada, but there are a lot of european alternatives to OneDrive and afaik all of them host outside the US.

Proton Drive, Infomaniak's kDrive, pCloud are all Swiss, and Filen and Nextcloud are German, with the latter being self-hostable. I have personally tried both Filen and pCloud and found them easy to use.

I use Stormweb, it is a Canadian Nextcloud host. I am moving all my tech out of US places, slowly family still uses FaceTime, so I needed something that I could back up my pi data.

Stormweb

I like the look of this. Thank you.

I use pCloud.

https://www.pcloud.com/

You can choose whether to host in Europe vs USA.

Are they a US company?

stretch2m@infosec.pub · 4 pts · 322d

According to the contact us page, they are in Switzerland.

I mean, if you’re on Linux, does one drive offer you something beyond samba? Maybe setup a web dav server?

lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 322d (1 reply)

There's an open source client for Onedrive for linux.

Sorry let me rephrase. Does using one drive offer you any functionality that WebDAV/samba would not?
