How nice of Google to highlight another Drive/One competitor to me.

Any reviews/feedback from current Nextcloud users? I do plan to eventually self host but would start off using storage included in the plan

Edit: many thanks for all the responses! I think I'll stick with my current Drive alternative for now (Mega) but will start reading up on the technical docs/requirements for Nextcloud, as I do want to self serve in the long run

YES! Nextcloud is actually kinda good. I was skeptical for a long time, but I've changed my mind recently.

If you don't want to self-host (I'm not there yet, it seemed like a pain at first glance), then there are 2 online hosting providers that I've used recently.

nubo.coop fully manages Nextcloud for you, you just use it as a normal SaaS
northmail.ca also Nextcloud as a service, same as Nubo

Nubo is in Europe, while Northmail is in Canada.

They both offer email, notes, calendars, contacts, cloud file storage. Nubo also offers a tasks app, while Northmail doesn't yet.

I'm in the US, so Nubo was a little slow for me. I've been using Northmail for about 1 week now. Northmail's Nextcloud instance is faster for me. Northmail also uses a way more recent version of Nextcloud. Nubo's Nextcloud is pretty old. Northmail is also offering 100GB for $0.99 CAD per month, which is way more than Nubo.

I had to move off Nubo because my bank doesn't do international wires.

If Northmail adds Nextcloud Tasks, then I will have everything I want from Northmail!
