nextcloud is just the name of the app
you can (and should) run it on your own computer, not somebody elses

I see. I haven't tried it yet. I guess I was fooled by the name.

+1 on Nextcloud.
Think of it like Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. — but your Linux machine is the cloud instead of another company’s server.
I’m not an advanced user yet but I’ve got it installed and have started using it.

Yes, a few hours ago I discovered that "the cloud" was my hard drive. Now I'm already using it to back up files on an old laptop.

no, but youre not using nextclouds server, you are using your own. the start9 server you own
reply
I see. You have the option. Yes, this can be useful.

Sorry I never explained my reluctance in using nextcloud. It's not about nextcloud in particular. It's the idea of using the cloud at all. Have you heard the saying "the cloud is just someone else's computer"? That's my point. You are giving away control of your data to a third party. It seems to defeat the whole idea of self sovereign computing.
