Just for reference, what do you use for cross-platform auto-syncing cloud storage with sharing control?
A VPS with Nextcloud 14, providing me with - Controlled file sharing - Calendar - Contacts - Email client - Tasks - Collaborative document editing through Collabora's CODE ( also known as Libreoffice online, works from the Files section and lets you work in the browser interface of the Nextcloud server ) - (Video / Audio) chat - loads of other apps available
I heavily use both DropBox and Drive, and both are a PITA on Linux, but I don't know of any other options. I would *love* to have something native and happy on Linux, Win, Android, and Mac
*Dav clients are available on any of these platforms, i.e. webdav, caldav, carddav. Same for file syncing: a nextcloud client ( works about the same as Dropbox, i.e. a folder on your client gets ( partially ) synced to the Nextcloud server.
(just an iMac and iPad, FWIW, in case leaving out iPhones helps) -- and that gives me some space, please, because there's never enough.
Any suggestions?
See above, plus: I've prepared following config for some friends and a small veterans sports club, all < $100 in total: - Raspberry Pi3 - 16GB SD card - External # TB disk ( last one incl. a 3TB disk from a sales offer ) - Nextcloud + apps - A (sub)domain Of these, 2 friends provided their kids with small Chromebooks, default homepage the Nextcloud instance. The sports club has Windows, Mac, Android and linux users.

Final note: Last appointment in my Google Calendar: Jan 2014, last added Contact in Google Aug 2014. At the time I ran it from my old server at home, until I found out it consumed more money in power per year than my current VPS in total. VPS ( excl added storage ) gets backed up every 4 hours ). My main folders ( docs, pics, devel, music projects e.a., ~50GB ) get synced all the time. -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a.
