Replacing Google Drive is the hardest for me. I'm not a fan of the nextcloud bloat, Seafile is hard to setup. Didn't expect this to be the largest struggle of the whole process.

I used nextcloud for a while but ended up with a combo of syncthing and filebrowser to similar effect

Nice tip, I'll look into that!

Once proton integrates an office suite I'll be all set. (It's in the road map. When? Who knows?)

Iโ€™ve recently found Filen and it seems to be working well.

Nice suggestion!! I was fully on board until I realized it's not a self-hosted application :D I have some resources available on a server so I want to look in that direction for a possible solution.

Oh, right! Have you looked into Owncloud, the parent of Nextcloud that claims to be free of the bloat of its child?

[โ€“] myrmidex@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

No I haven't. I ran it a long long time ago, haven't kept up with the project since nextCloud. Worth a look, thanks!
