Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don’t have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I’ll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,
I host nextcloud and Immich on an old laptop to replace google drive and photos respectively. Very nice, but nextcloud syncing with android is annoying. Looking for alternatives there. Self hosted is a requirement.
Hosting nextcloud also lets me sync my calendar and contacts completely on my own hardware too. I use davx5 to sync with the Fossify calendar app on my phone because I like it better than the nextcloud app.
Agreed, the syncing issue is what turned me off Nextcloud eventually. Now I have Proton Drive which also stalls and skips file synchronization. The only service that I feel did sync well (better than Google Drive) was MEGA which was super clean, but that was years ago so it might not be true anymore.
