[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 917287, member: 39702"] That is simply not true and here's why typical home users are, in my opinion, better with full fledged cloud services. 1. You need server. And knowledge. – Very small number people knows what to buy regarding PCs, let alone server. Not everyone know how to install an operating system on a PC. Even if they opt for renting a server from a hosting company, that would still require knowledge to set everything up. 2. You're missing the point of cloud. – Cloud is very important today; more than ever. With NextCloud, you're hosting your files at one location—at your home. What happens when something devastating happens to the location you host your files on? Hardware failures, fires, earthquakes, storms, burglaries and all kinds of disasters could strike at any given time. Google is prepared for everything; Microsoft as well. These companies have huge responsibility when it comes to your data. And chance to lose something in literally non existent. Not to mention, you have people working there at any given time, making sure your data is safe from intruders. 3. You don't and you cannot have security like Google or Microsoft. – Seriously, have you seen how they guard your data in their data centers? Have you seen security measures you can activate on your Google account? There's simply no way you could provide that level of security with NextCloud. I mean, you totally could because you're hosting everything at home, but you have to think about disasters, as I previously said. Security doesn't mean anything when you lost all your files in a blink of an eye. 4. Privacy can be achieved with Google and Microsoft. – I like privacy too and I'm choosing apps and services regarding their privacy policy. But I'm still using Google's and Microsoft's product because they just work and they are leaders in security. Apps and programs like [URL='https://cryptomator.org/']Cryptomator[/URL] exist. Cryptomator is completely free and open source and it encrypts files before they're sent to cloud. With apps and programs like this, you're protected, no one has access to your files, and you can host them wherever. Even with Google. [/QUOTE]
