Nextcloud

One of the great revolutions in the last ~10 years is the ability to leverage cloud services for your day-to-day activities. Google Drive/Docs, Dropbox, iMessage, Google Calendar, etc. The huge downside to these is that you are trusting everything to these big companies, that often don’t have your interests at heart.

Nextcloud is a way to take control back and have your own cloud service to do all these things. It is simple to setup (or pay someone a small amount to take care of for you) and has tons of important features:

• User accounts - Setup accounts for everyone in your family, co-workers, etc
• File storage - sync files from your phone to PC, share among multiple users
• Photo sync - Upload photos to albums as they are taken on your phone
• Document editing - Collaboratively edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations
• Chat - Text, Voice, and Video calls, including groups

• Calendar, Contacts, Bookmarks, News, Note Taking, Mapping and many more

• Nextcloud
• Phone Client App
