Don't trust third parties with your data? Nick Peers has the answer...
Build Your Own Cloud Storage

IN THESE DAYS of password breaches and encroaching government agencies, how much do you trust any third party with your data? Cloud storage is baked into Windows with Microsoft’s OneDrive, but despite the generous 1TB of storage space with any subscription, how sure can you be that your data is truly beyond the reach of bad actors?

If you’d rather not trust the internet with your precious data, Nextcloud Hub is the solution for you. It offers the same features you find in any good cloud storage solution— backup and synchronization between all your devices—but goes further to add a secure self-hosted chat platform as well as private solutions for your contacts, calendar, and projects, all of which can be accessed on your phone as well as your desktop and laptop. There’s even a powerful web-based office suite—based on LibreOffice—that you can deploy to edit documents on the go.

Better still, you can sign up trusted friends and family to free accounts to give them access to your server, providing you with all the tools you need to chat, share, and collaborate on projects without worrying about who might be snooping on your data. It’s time to free your data from the tyranny of others. It’s time for Nextcloud.
