Google Drive is great for storing files in the cloud, accessing them when needed, and collaborating with a team. However, the internet isn't always reliable and can cause issues when accessing files. In such cases, you need an offline solution, and Synology may have the best options. Synology has awesome NAS enclosures. Its accompanying software, Synology Drive, packs goodies similar to Google Drive while adding an extra layer of privacy.

Businesses and individuals can benefit from the perks Synology Drive brings. Here's everything you need to know about setting up Synology Drive as a Google Drive alternative.

As open source replacement of google drive I would prefer to use Nextcloud

Nextcloud is just a tool, it needs to be selfhosted or deployed in a VPS, in the end you need some hardware to deploy it.

There are also Nextcloud providers that will manage and host your NC instance.
