Guest • Jun 2016 • 17 agrees and 9 disagrees Disagree Agree Nice alternative where you keep control over your data. Guest • Aug 2016 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree OwnCloud was an excellent Dropbox alternative, particularly if you're setting up your own server and being in control of your own data, rather than giving it up to some giant corporation. However, ownCloud has now been forked into NextCloud, and early indications are that NextCloud will be the more successful long-term project to go for. Keep your eyes peeled, but don't not check out NextCloud as well as this. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Requires self-hosting, which can be a limit for many. Since a good knowledge of security related matters is mandatory, think twice before using it. However is the best alternative for those not looking for have their data hosted on a NSA server.

527 Like MEGA Good alternative? YES NO You hold the security keys for 50 GB free storage, unlimited desktop sync bandwidth, and 10 GB per month of free bandwidth for sharing with other accounts. Freemium Mac Windows Linux Web Android iPhone Blackberry Android Tablet ... Windows Phone iPad Blackberry 10 Chrome Firefox AES encryption Cloud sync Encrypted backups End-to-end encryption ... File-sync Works offline too Selective synchronization Shared folders Add a feature MEGA ostensibly offer a more privacy-oriented solution. They give you 50GB for "free" and say that your files are encrypted before they leave your machine, and therefore you benefit from end-to-end encryption. This would be a good model, for sure. But Mega has also had weird controversies, slow speeds and security flaws found in its code. Go for Sync.com, Tresorit or Spideroak instead. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 12 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree Agree It can run across multiple platforms that are basically what we have and it is often used by uploaders all around the web. Guest • Sep 2017 Disagree Agree MEGA feels more like a file-sharing site. Rather than a sync tool. Guest • Jun 2015 • 4 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree Agree Love, love, love Mega. Lots of space and fast servers. Plus they have a great Linux client with a simple GUI. You aren't going to do a lot of sharing with 10 GB per month bandwidth, but it's perfect for storage and syncing files with a tablet or phone.

Calendar integration CardDAV Sync Contacts End-to-end encryption Integrated Email Client MarkDown support Mobile friendly Real time collaboration Security focused Unlimited storage Video calling Support for WebDAV Add a feature If you don't mind setting up your own server, NextCloud is a great Dropbox alternative because: 1) it's open source, 2) you control your data, 3) the limit of your storage is determined only by the limit of your hard drive. Alternatively, you can get services to host a NextCloud install on their servers for you, but then you give that service access to your data. Unless you encrypt client side with something like Cryptomator first. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Open-sourced, easy to install and maintain, close to feature parity with Dropbox (except Paper). Paour • Feb 2017 Disagree Agree Nextcloud is based on Owncloud, but keeps everything opensource. Guest • Apr 2017 Disagree Agree Like already said, easy to install, easy to use and in constant improvement. And all that with a huge community sylain • May 2017 Disagree Agree Nextcloud helps you be in control of *your* data, with a super friendly web interface and great collaboration tools! Guest • 13 hours ago Disagree Agree Nextcloud is totally private with a great variety of additional apps, to customize the server fully to your personal needs. And it's all free (if you host it yourself). And there is even no limitations for storage space. They even offer free apps/ clients for Android, iOS and Windows (Phone). Contacts, (shared) Calendars, internal Chat, live collaboration on office documents and soon to come end-to-end encryption - what else would you need?! Guest • 12 hours ago Disagree Agree

Install Syslinux Sync Network Drive Team collaboration Add a feature Although Seafile.de works with a slightly more complex client than does Dropbox, it also has more options. Importantly, it's open source, unlike Dropbox. Also, storing files using Seafile.de 's services mean your data is stored in Germany, which has stricter privacy laws. Note: Whilst Seafile does offer client-side encryption, at the time of writing this encrypts only file contents, not names or metadata. (Dropbox doesn't offer this at all, however.) Guest • Nov 2016 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Accessing your files via the website is very similar to Dropbox. Low prices, European privacy laws and open source clients compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux. Within Europe, upload speeds of the order of 1-2MB/s, download speeds 1-6MB/s depending on number of files. I got similar speeds with Dropbox in UK. Use together with Cryptomator for max privacy.

Freemium Mac Windows Linux Web Android iPhone Crypto folder Sync with Box Sync with Dropbox Encrypted backups ... End-to-end encryption File-sync Sync with Google Drive Sync with Onedrive Add a feature pCloud is a good alternative to Dropbox because it offers the same functionality with the following benefits: 1. It offers the option of an encrypted folder, so even pCloud employees can't see or steal your data; 2. pCloud is based in Switzerland where privacy rules are far stronger than in the US. 3. pCloud offers a larger amount of free space (5GB vs 2GB from Dropbox.) JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Data privacy is far better than Dropbox, and the encrypted folder works well. It acts just like a drive connected to your PC, not a folder, so the file is stored directly in your cloud account, and not at all on your device. When you het the larger drives (I have the 2TB), it allows me to run the Built-in backup utilities on the web interface to back up Dropbox, facebook, Google Drive and Google Photo's, giving me an extra level of redundancy in my backups.
