Nextcloud has most, if not all, of the features of drive in my experience.
(Don’t everyone hit me) the snap version of nextcloud is dead simple to stand up. But if you are adamantly opposed to snap, the docker version is semi-easy to get going. Or you could just spin up a linode instance with it on there for like $5/mo.
This is all a self-hosted/self-responsible option though. So back it up etc.
I invested in my personal infrastructure a bit. Bought an old retired Dell R710 server for $100, installed proxmox on it. Nextcloud is basically a one-click install using a Turnkey Linux container.
My setup clearly isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve got $100 to spare for some hardware and aren’t afraid of running your own server, proxmox is free and crazy powerful.
Exactly. I got an R720 for AUD$300 and it runs so much more than a Pi could. I’ve got Home Assistant, Bitwarden, Nextcloud, Jellyfin, *arrs, Invidious, Gitea and some gaming servers all running on the one machine. On top of that it runs a Windows 10 VM with a graphics card running a music computer set up.
You can run so much on one of these it’s ridiculous. I wish I saw more people using them. PM me if you ever need help with idrac, I’ve learnt way too much about these Dell servers.
Edit: When I say music computer, I mean one for making music btw. It’s got 32gb of RAM assigned and can run as many VSTs as my partner can throw at it.

Thanks for the idea. I’m mainly looking for storage that I could access even if I blow up my house.
This.
