How might private storage compete with corporate super hardrives for websites? There is the darkweb Wikipedia and internet archive and a decent amount of data on the0 fediverse. There may be a point where megacorps have eyes in the terminal of computers what is the logistics of open source computers with all the components and what would it be like?

Btw When I was very young the megacorps were something cool and I am poor so if I’m the product then it’s fine. Your money went towards better products like the Mac, Imovie and more (at least in perception). but I have an irrational feeling that what was once free in the mid 2010s is now a bucket load of money that since the Russian disinformation campaign and the turn of many companies towards sucking every last penny by charging for what was once taken for granted out of their users innovation has stifled and what was once free is captive.

Looks good for files, but if you want total replacement of icloud/google/ms services such as contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, and so much more, Nextcloud is best in class.

Filen is really good. It’s had teething problems but they are getting smoothed out. All their apps are open source (the Android app can be installed direct from GitHub via Obtanium if you don’t want to use G Play) and nothing leaves your device(s) without being encrypted. They have a free tier too if you just want to try it out before committing.

There isn’t. There shouldn’t be in future too. It’s like pcloud but more secure.

Thanx, I didn’t know this one, I am currently using pcloud to sync automatically my photos but filen does it too and better and without trackers.

Also, it has better cloud storage servers. And a better interface than pcloud.

Yes, I love their interface, I tested it and I already removed pcloud for them because I was only using it to sync my photos.
