More and more, I think the best replacement for a cloud drive is just Syncthing.

I went through the list and wrote what I use to replace it.

  • Microsoft Office 365
    -- Mail -> Tuta
    -- Calendar -> I don't use a calendar, but Tuta would be my option
    -- OneDrive -> I still use OneDrive, but I'm also using Filen.io and Syncthing
    -- Documents* -> ONLYOFFICE (Documents)
  • Bitwarden -> KeePassXC and Keepass2Android
  • GitHub -> I still use GitHub...
  • Google search -> SearXNG with several search engines

*Documents weren't listed or mentioned since they're not cloud services, but I think it's worth talking about. I'm just using ONLYOFFICE and syncing everything with Filen.io and Syncthing.

Syncthing is great, and if you need 'central' storage that's always on just throw it on a server too.

Syncthing is so good, I don't know why anyone would pay for cloud storage.

Convenience, I suppose. It's not like Syncthing is hard to setup, but it is harder than the centralized stuff, namely because there's talk of relay and discovery servers... That doesn't really "matter" for a regular user, but normies see funny words and give up.

Instead, I'd recommend LibreOffice ~~or CryptPad~~.

Yeah, I've heard of that... Isn't CryptPad just an online wrapper of ONLYOFFICE?

But yeah, thing is LibreOffice is... Worse. I do have it installed though, and I use it occasionally. I'll try and use it more.

Haven't heard that, nor looked into it, to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, when I open a new document on CryptPad, it opens a web-version of ONLYOFFICE so...

I didn't realize until this thread because the only instance I had looked at was https://cryptpad.disroot.org/ , which doesn't seem to have updated to the OnlyOffice version of CryptPad.
