The full functionality of Nextcloud, however, is accessed and managed through its web interface via any modern browser on any platform. If you want to self-host Nextcloud then it can be installed on any Linux computer. It can also be installed in Windows and macOS systems using a Virtual Machine. A popular option is to use a Raspberry Pi as a low-cost Nextcloud server. We do have concerns about whether these machines have the oomph needed for the job, although this may be addressed by the much more capable new Raspberry Pi 4 (especially models with 4GB of RAM).
Looking for a Dropbox alternative? Cloud storage isn’t a hard service to come by in recent times. However, some of these platforms come with unseen limitations. For instance, your data is never truly “private” when storing it with a larger platform. Given that companies like Google are rumored to have the authority to access its user’s data, this can raise red flags for many. Albeit when it comes to privacy, it’s not a subject that should be overlooked. The purpose of self-hosted cloud storage is not to prove its superiority, but rather provide a competitive alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive. And within this open source cloud storage solution, a way for users to have more control over their hosted data.
An additional problem is that only the contents of files are encrypted, not their name or folder structure. If you don’t store data on remote storage services, then it is much better to deploy per-file encryption manually before uploading to Nextcloud and/or use full disk encryption on the server drives (for example using dm-crypt or EncFS). Full disk encryption is fairly easy to implement with self-hosted cloud or self-managed cloud instances. If you have a fully-hosted account then this is out of your control, although it is something your provider may do anyway (so ask).
