• Transitioning Away from Google Services

  I've been hooked on some Google services since 2010 when I got a Nexus One phone. I liked the calendar and contacts because they were accessible from my other devices. I ported a few of my phone numbers to Google Voice shortly afterward and I liked being able to access voicemail and SMS from my other devices. Sometime last year I noticed that Google Calendar was acting up with Thunderbird so I decided to migrate... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Ask HN: Is there any good Dropbox-like client for your own FTP server out there?

  Something like that https://owncloud.com/? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Problem about sharing a huge amount of files

  I would think that something like OwnCloud could achieve this. This would allow you to self-host the files on your computer(s) and share them with others. I don't have any experience with OwnCloud or any alternatives yet, but based on what I've read on it, this could potentially solve the issue of sharing your self-hosted files. So maybe explore that as an option, and that might solve not only how to self-host... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Photo cloud service to use in 2023

  Https://owncloud.com/ this in the past covered some part of requirements. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Network Fileshare options

  I like Seafile for home cloud drive and File Browser for remotely browsing the hard drive. Seafile stores data in its own storage. OwnCloud can mount directly from the file system if you need that. They both have phone apps too. Seafile has a remote drive mount tool and sync tool for desktops. All three run in Docker well. Homepage is a great way to tie it all together. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Build Your Own Cloud Storage

  Nextcloud is similar to ownCloud, but with a few differences. Nextcloud is an upgraded version of ownCloud, created by duplicating (forking) it and developing the new version separately. It offers some great collaboration tools, allowing you to use one of their DIY cloud storage systems. They also have apps for smartphones on both Android and iOS -- which is perfect if you want to access your data wherever you... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• The Ethics of AI Art

  Maybe the solution Grey is looking for with obsidian a self hosted cloud that allows collaboration. Like NextCloud or OwnCloud. IDK how reliant he is on Obsidians plugins and specific UI. But these allow realtime collaboration on markdown. You just need an always on machine and a decent connection. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• I'm a very basic user. What am I missing?

  I'd also recommend taking a look at NextCloud (or alternatively ownCloud) if you'd like to host your own sort of cloud solution. You can also use it to plug into stuff like Google Drive and encrypt the contents as well. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• This is bad for more reasons than the media has been highlighting

  Also recommend https://owncloud.com/; Https://mycroft.ai/get-started/. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• Self-hosted open-source alternative to Google Forms with the ability to upload files in the form

  I'm not sure about either of them but you should look into CryptPad and OwnCloud. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• Dropbox deletes Rick and Morty creators account for secret TOS violation

  Can I take a moment to recommend 'OwnCloud'? ( https://owncloud.com ) I may be out of the loop, but my experience with it has been great. It's a (mostly?) open-source, self-hosted DropBox(ish) clone - with a great UI, web browser support as well as native MacOS, Windows, Android and iOS apps. (I figure there's probably some sort of Linux client as well? I'd have no idea.) I'm shocked that Adult Swim isn't... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

  OwnCloud community edition with gallery plugin not good? - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

• What’s your favorite note taking app, foss or selfhosted?

  QOwnNotes with ownCloud. It works with Nextcloud, too, if you prefer. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago

• Why do centrally planned economies tend to fail historically? (Prone to inefficiency, surplus and shortages, lower quality goods, etc)?

  As far as control, I think that might radically change also. I think within a decade that personal AI assistants will be common, and individual data will be held on personal servers that have to be explicitly granted access to retrieve data. So not Siri or Alexa, but Mycroft hosted using owncloud On one of these (they double as a space heater too!) with a backup in salt mine somewhere. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• what is your storage setup?

  If you're looking to have the same files available across multiple systems you use, cloud storage might be a solution. Whether it be hosted by someone else like Dropbox or Google Drive, or run your own with NextCloud or OwnCloud. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• File storage service for confidential files?

  I guess you could host your own? https://owncloud.com/. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Any thoughts about 4privacy?

  Nonetheless, the features look basically the same compared to ownCloud so 4privacy does seem like a duplicate project. Not sure what their business model will be (I don't think they know either yet) but owncloud is free for personal use on a self-hosted server. Owncloud also supports linux, 4privacy says linux support is "on the roadmap" which generally translates to "we'll do it if we get bored but probably wont". - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Best way to map a network drive in Windows 10 over internet?

  I would look into https://owncloud.com/ or https://nextcloud.com/. You basically create your own cloud storage service like Dropbox, but run your own server. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Are there equivalents to iCloud on Linux?

  I've looked around and I've found companies like nextCloud and ownCloud which offer cloud storage and on-premise hosting but I haven't found something that goes beyond that. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Data usage / maxing out monthly ISP / POE Security cameras

  For backups I guess it just depends. If I had a datacap problem I'd probably go with a NAS and only back stuff up to the cloud that are super important. Saying that'd I'd probably use ownCloud (self hosted) and encrypt the entire cloud backup and also integrate the cloud + NAS storage into one interface with it. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
