Free cloud, storage, and backup

If you want free cloud storage, you can use freemium services or keep files on your own disk and server. Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive sell space and sync; here you find personal cloud, backup, and peer-to-peer sync — official links only, with no installer hosted on this site.

Self-hosting needs setup; Big Tech apps are more “plug and play.” In return you cut paid quotas and, in many cases, get encryption the provider cannot read. Start small and plan a backup of Nextcloud itself (or equivalent) before migrating everything.
