OwnSky is our cloud variant based on Nextcloud.

Nextcloud is a free software for storing data (file hosting) on its own server. The project was launched as an alternative to the commercial cloud services (Dropbox, Amazon S3, Google Drive, etc.) and places particular emphasis on the privacy of users.

Important note: For the first use, a one-time setup of the complete storage space is necessary, but this is uncomplicated and quickly described in the instructions linked below.

  • Free storage up to 1 TB (HomeDrive)
