R.I.P.Open-source alternatives to Google Drive
12 projects replace Google Drive, the cloud storage. 11 shipped code in the last 30 days.
Google Drive's free 15 GB is shared with Gmail and Photos, so most people end up paying for Google One. Files sit under Google's content policies, and accounts have been locked over automated flags with little recourse. Businesses in the EU often want files on servers they control.
Nextcloud is the full suite: file sync and sharing, calendar and contacts, plus online office through add-ons. Seafile focuses on fast, reliable sync and copes well with large libraries. OpenCloud and ownCloud Infinite Scale are newer rewrites in Go without the PHP stack. Ente is the pick if what you mostly keep in Drive is photos, with end-to-end encryption.

What you give up by leaving Google Drive
The honest part. Free and open usually costs something else.
- Docs editing is separate Live editing like Docs and Sheets needs Collabora or OnlyOffice set up beside your drive.
- Search inside files Drive searches text in PDFs and images; self-hosted search usually needs extra indexing apps.
- Disks and backups You buy the disks and keep off-site backups, or one failure can lose everything.
- Sharing looks unfamiliar Recipients trust Google links; links to your own server can look odd or land in spam.
