  • How to copy a file between devices?
    To add to this, it's reasonably easy to run, and has many different plugins, from a calendar and contacts list, to an online document editor (like Google Docs, except it can be pretty slow and/or resource intensive: https://nextcloud.com/office/), to a simple clone of Slack (https://nextcloud.com/talk/), a mail client (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail) and other things. That said, I've had updates (across... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Don't Forget Microsoft
    > I think for the original poster complaining about not being able to switch was because of integration between the different tools which they find too useful to forego. Ohh, that's a good point, something that I didn't consider in detail! The closest that I've seen would be OnlyOffice integration (https://nextcloud.com/onlyoffice/) and the mail app (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail) for Nextcloud, but neither... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Is there a tool to have an Thunderbird-like inbox for multiple email accounts?
    Nextcloud, apparently. Haven't tried this plugin myself though. But if you don't already use it this might be overkill. Source: over 2 years ago
  • web based email client
    Yes, if you set up a nextcloud installation (which will cover many of your other privacy bases), there is a addon (Mail) that is an email client that works like Thunderbird in that it accesses your other accounts via IMAP. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Alternative to Gmail/Google Workspace for a small business
    Have you considered using nextcloud? They are open-source and from what I have looked-up right now they seem to have E-Mail too (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail) Nextcloud offers 0retty much everything else too. They even have a tool to migrate all your data over from the google-suite so you dont have to take care of that :) And if you dont over 8 GB then its free (might work for email) Hope it helps.
