Local Nextcloud for Dropbox replacement

Read Original

The article details a developer's journey to replace Dropbox with a self-hosted Nextcloud instance for local file storage. Motivated by cost and security, the author uses existing hardware (an old PC and a NAS) and a 2TB NVMe drive to set up the system via an Ubuntu server, following an online tutorial. The focus is on gaining direct file access and control while reducing reliance on paid cloud services.
