Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, replaced by a platform you actually control: Nextcloud is the self-hosted digital workspace. Files is the core: file storage and sync across desktop, mobile, and web clients, with sharing, versioning, and collaboration built in. Around it, Talk provides private text chat, audio/video conferencing with screen sharing, SIP integration, and persistent voice rooms; Groupware bundles calendar, contacts, and mail with delegation support; and Office offers two collaborative suites - the Collabora-based option with deep ODF support, and Euro-Office, whose local-processing architecture delivers strong Microsoft Office compatibility and fast browser rendering with reduced server load. The Nextcloud Assistant threads AI through the platform via a context-aware sidebar, Whiteboard covers visual collaboration, Flow handles automation, and an app ecosystem of hundreds of extensions adds everything from Kanban boards to end-to-end encryption. Hub 26 brings a lighter UI with a unified app switcher and Nextcloud Governance for organizations under strict regulatory requirements. This is the flagship of data sovereignty: your files, chats, calendars, and documents live on your server, under your jurisdiction, with GDPR compliance by architecture rather than by contract.

Your own hardware should be the cloud your AI lives in. Olares is an open-source personal cloud operating system that turns one machine, or a small cluster of them, into a private AI platform: run local large language models, keep always-on agents working on your files, and open a browser-based desktop of apps from any device. The built-in Lares assistant takes instructions in plain language and delegates research, file management, and routine automation to agents. The Model Console downloads and serves open models from a local catalog, with GPUs pooled across nodes and split by time or memory for AI, media, and gaming workloads. A one-click market installs self-hosted applications beside the system apps: Files browsing local folders, synced data, cloud storage, and SMB or NFS shares; Vault managing secrets; Dashboard watching the machine; and Control Hub administering it all. Networking stays private by design, with a built-in VPN, reverse proxy, and public, private, or internal entrances giving each app an HTTPS address without exposing individual ports. Backups protect the whole system, the desktop works from phone or browser anywhere, and your apps, storage, and accelerators behave like one coherent computer rather than a pile of containers. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Homeio turns a Linux box into a desktop you open in a browser tab, with draggable windows, a dock, a lock screen, and a command palette sitting on top of your Docker apps, files, and disks. The App Store installs Docker Compose stacks from the CasaOS catalog or your own store sources, and each app's ports, volumes, environment variables, and compose file stay editable before and after install. Containers you started elsewhere still appear with live CPU and memory stats, streaming logs with keyword filters, and one-click restarts. The file manager uploads with progress, previews images, audio, video, and PDFs, edits text in a built-in code editor, mounts USB drives and SMB shares, and shares folders over Samba. A real login shell lives in the Terminal window, with exec access into any container, so routine fixes never need a separate SSH client. Cron-style scheduled tasks restart apps, pull images, or run backups on a timer, and scheduled archives of the database, files, and compose stacks restore from the same interface. Tailscale puts the whole desktop on your private network, while Cloudflare Tunnel can publish a single app on a public hostname with its DNS record created for you. Live metrics stream to widgets and the status bar, and notifications flag crashed containers, filling disks, and failed tasks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

EveryOS gives the Linux server you already own a desktop it never had: open a browser and your machine greets you with windows you can move, snap, and stack, a dock, virtual desktops, widgets, and a launcher, all remembering exactly how you left them. Your files live in a private home with the usual folders, previews, a text editor, and a trash you can restore from, and plugging in a USB disk makes it appear on the desktop ready to mount. An app store installs self-hosted applications from catalogs and follows each deployment, later offering updates that keep your settings, rollbacks when one goes wrong, and backups of app data. The same workspace watches the machine itself: CPU, memory, disk, and network at a glance, systemd services and logs, available package updates, and a Docker view for containers and Compose projects. A real terminal opens in the browser under your own Linux account, Home Assistant arrives as a panel and desktop widgets with its tokens kept on the server, and an AI assistants app can find or install a local model server such as Ollama and chat with it privately.

Puter delivers a complete cloud operating system that runs entirely in the browser — turning any device with internet access into a full-featured personal computer with desktop environment, file management, application hosting, and developer platform. The familiar desktop interface presents windows, taskbar, right-click menus, drag-and-drop, and multi-window management indistinguishable from native operating systems. The hierarchical filesystem supports file creation, uploads, sharing, permissions, and trash recovery with storage backends ranging from local SQLite for self-hosting to S3 and DynamoDB for production scale. Built-in AI integration provides access to GPT-4, Claude, and other models directly from the desktop for text generation, code assistance, and image creation. The developer platform offers a JavaScript SDK, REST APIs, cloud storage, key-value database, and serverless workers for building and hosting web applications without managing infrastructure. Sandboxed applications run in iframes with IPC communication and permission-based access to filesystem, AI, and system services. The app store enables publishing, discovering, and monetizing applications built on the Puter platform. Website hosting publishes static sites with custom domains directly from the file manager. Multi-user support provides individual accounts with authentication, resource isolation, and sharing capabilities. Deploy via Docker with a single command, Docker Compose for production, or npm for development — the one-line install script handles everything automatically on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

AgentVerse OS turns a single Ubuntu server into a personal cloud with a real desktop in the browser, built for a developer and their AI agents. You work in a windowed desktop with a taskbar, start menu, and widgets for system monitoring, clock, news, weather, and projects, and the same desktop opens from a laptop, tablet, or phone while everything stays on the server. Each project gets an isolated Incus container with Docker inside, its own network and gate, plus VS Code, a terminal, files, and git in the browser. The Agents app runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, pi, and Antigravity inside the workspace, with permission prompts you approve from any device, scheduled routines, model menus, conversation search and export, and a ledger of what each session spent. When you close your laptop the agents keep working, and you pick the conversation up later exactly where it stopped. A built-in store merges the Runtipi, Coolify, and Umbrel catalogs into about 945 installable apps with guided setup, credentials shown in the app card, snapshots, and rollback. Projects request capabilities such as storage.s3, llm, or notify instead of hardcoding addresses, scheduled ZFS snapshots feed a restic backup repository, and access arrives only through your Tailscale network with real certificates. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

A personal cloud does not need the weight of a small enterprise suite, and bewCloud proves it by keeping files, photos, notes, contacts, and calendars in one compact service a single person can run for a whole household. The Files app stores uploads in a plain folder tree on disk, offers public sharing links, optional whole-folder downloads as zip archives, and a WebDAV endpoint that desktop tools can mount. Photos turns that same storage into a browsable gallery, while Notes keeps quick text within reach of every login. Contacts and Calendar speak CardDAV and CalDAV through a bundled Radicale server, so the calendar and address book on a phone or laptop stay in sync without another account anywhere. News collects feeds to read in the browser, and Expenses tracks spending in a small ledger beside everything else. The header shows only the apps you enable, in the order you choose, and companion desktop and mobile apps connect to the same server for people who prefer native sync. Accounts can be protected with multi-factor authentication using TOTP, passkeys, or email codes, and optional single sign-on lets a household sign in through an existing identity provider. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

With over 1,200 GitHub stars, 12,000+ commits, and more than a decade of active development distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license, Cozy Cloud operates as a comprehensive personal data hub that goes far beyond file storage by connecting your documents, contacts, calendars, banking transactions, energy bills, and productivity tools into a single self-hosted platform where no third party profiles you. The cozy-stack Go binary handles file storage, CouchDB document management, job scheduling, app serving, and the REST API in a single process consuming approximately 150MB of RAM idle. Sandboxed konnectors import data from 50+ external services — banks, utility providers, telecom operators, cloud drives — running as isolated jobs via nsjail to prevent untrusted code from accessing other user data. The built-in app store serves web applications in subdomain-isolated environments with Content Security Policy headers, each app communicating exclusively through the documented REST API. Real-time synchronization via PouchDB replication and WebSocket keeps files, contacts, and documents consistent across desktop clients, mobile apps for iOS and Android with automatic photo backup, and the web interface. Security features include automatic Let's Encrypt TLS certificates, Argon2id password hashing, optional TOTP two-factor authentication, and GDPR-compliant data export via the CLI. Each user receives their own isolated instance with independent storage, database, and application configuration.

Organizations seeking complete data sovereignty over their documents, spreadsheets, and shared project folders can deploy OpenCloud as a self-hosted workspace for file sync, sharing, and real-time collaboration across web, desktop, iOS, and Android clients. Teams organize departmental assets inside dedicated Spaces where files belong to the project rather than individual user accounts, ensuring continuity when personnel change and enabling delegated space managers to assign granular read, edit, or upload permissions. Through built-in WOPI integration with Collabora Online, multiple colleagues can co-edit Microsoft Office and OpenDocument files simultaneously in the browser with automatic conflict locking and version history recovery. External partners and clients can access files via password-protected public links with custom expiration dates or upload deliverables into write-only File Drop folders without seeing existing directory contents. Cross-organization collaboration works seamlessly over the Open Cloud Mesh federation protocol, while full-text and tag-based search locates documents across personal and shared drives in seconds. Client devices synchronize changes in real time with support for virtual files on demand, resumable chunked uploads, and offline mobile access with camera document scanning.

The project that proved organizations could have Dropbox-style convenience with complete data ownership: ownCloud is the original open-source file sync and share platform - the codebase Nextcloud later forked from. This deployment runs the classic ownCloud Server (PHP over PostgreSQL or MariaDB, with Redis caching), the battle-tested edition trusted across enterprises, universities, and public institutions worldwide. The core loop: store files on your server, sync them via desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux plus iOS and Android apps, and access everything through the web interface or standard WebDAV. Sharing is granular - internal users and groups, external recipients via public links with passwords and expiration dates, and federated sharing that connects separate ownCloud instances into one network. Security controls include file firewall rules, multi-factor authentication, encryption, and detailed audit-friendly lifecycle management with versioning and trash-bin recovery. An app marketplace extends the platform, and Web Office integrations bring collaborative document editing through Collabora Online, OnlyOffice, or Microsoft Office Online directly into your files. LDAP and Active Directory integration slots it into existing identity infrastructure. For teams that need a proven, self-hosted alternative to Dropbox or Google Drive - where compliance demands knowing exactly which disk your data sits on - ownCloud remains a foundational choice.

Files belong to the project, not to whoever uploaded them: ownCloud Infinite Scale is a self-hosted file sharing and collaboration platform where teams work in Spaces, data rooms that stay intact when people join, leave, or change roles. Inside a Space, members browse, upload, version, and share files from the web interface or synced clients, with full control over links, permissions, and expiry. Documents open for real-time editing through the web office integration of your choice, favorites and recent files keep daily work one click away, and full-text search with tags finds content across every Space you can access. Personal files live alongside team Spaces, a recycle bin catches mistakes, and administrators manage users, groups, roles, and storage from the same deployment. One service runs the whole platform for a home server, and the same system scales out for schools, companies, and public institutions that must keep data on their own infrastructure. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Jmal Cloud is a self-hosted private cloud drive that keeps your files on your own server, with online previews, resumable uploads, full-text search, and WebDAV access. The web manager previews photos, videos, Office documents, PDFs, EPUB books, and even CAD DWG drawings in the browser, then puts recently modified files, favorites, shared folders, and a trash bin a click away. Huge uploads resume from the exact chunk that stopped, while full-text search drills into text, PDFs, and Office documents when filenames fail you. Connect Alibaba Cloud OSS, Tencent Cloud COS, or MinIO as storage backends and browse every bucket through the same folders. Wire in a self-hosted OnlyOffice Document Server and draw.io to edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and sketch flowcharts or mind maps without leaving the drive. Mount the library as a local network drive over WebDAV, share folders through links for upload and download, and push scheduled backups with the Rust jmalcloud CLI. Packages and Docker images cover Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, and Arch on x86_64 and ARM64, and the interface speaks English, Chinese, and Japanese. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

FolderHost turns a folder on your server into a private cloud that you and your team reach from any browser, with the whole platform shipping as one executable of about 19MB and zero dependencies to install. Upload, download, move, copy, rename, archive, and extract files through a familiar explorer interface, with chunked uploads that survive big transfers and a recovery bin that keeps accidental deletions restorable within limits you set. Code files open in a real editor where several people can type at once, which makes it a surprisingly handy way to tweak server configs or a game server's files together live. Long-running programs can be registered as services and started, stopped, and driven from a built-in terminal that shows live uptime and memory use. Accounts come with granular permissions for every action, optional folder scopes that confine a user to one directory tree, and per-instance storage quotas. Every activity lands in audit logs you can review and auto-expire, sessions use short-lived tokens tied to the login device, and TLS can be self-signed for a LAN or issued through Let's Encrypt for a public domain. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

OxiCloud is a self-hosted cloud for files, photos, calendars, contacts, and office documents. Drives can be personal or shared, with configurable storage quotas. Multi-gigabyte uploads travel as parallel, resumable chunks with integrity verification. Images, PDFs, audio tracks, and video streams preview right in the browser, and photos show EXIF details and map locations. Files sync over WebDAV. Calendars sync over CalDAV. Contacts sync over CardDAV. Desktop file managers, Thunderbird, Apple Calendar, and mobile DAVx5 clients connect without proprietary software. Collabora Online or OnlyOffice plug in through WOPI for real-time co-editing of spreadsheets, presentations, and text documents. Administrators enforce role-based access controls. Sign-in runs through OpenID Connect providers such as Keycloak, Authentik, or Azure AD. Public share links can carry a password and an expiration. Identical files are stored once, and adaptive compression keeps footprints compact. Local disks, Amazon S3, and Azure Blob can be mounted at the same time, with live background migration and automated consistency checks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

OpenList gathers every place your files live, local disks, S3 buckets, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, NAS shares, and forty-odd other services, into one browsable file list behind a single login. Mount each storage at its own path and the whole collection behaves like one tidy drive: documents open in the browser, whether PDF, Markdown, source code, or Office files, images get a gallery mode, and videos and audio play in place with subtitle and lyric support. Everyday file work happens in the same window: upload, delete, rename, move, and copy, including copying directly between two storages when you are migrating off a cloud plan. Offline download tasks let the server fetch links for you in the background, and multi-threaded acceleration squeezes speed out of sluggish single connections. Every folder can also be mounted as a real drive on your computer through the built-in WebDAV and FTP servers, with per-user permissions deciding who may read, upload, rename, or delete. Protected routes add passwords in front of sensitive shares, permalinks hand out direct download links, and granular user rules can hide files or open archive contents without extracting them. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

FileBrowser Quantum is an open-source, self-hosted web file manager that transforms any directory tree or mounted storage volume into a fast, searchable cloud drive accessible from any browser. You can mount multiple independent filesystem sources at once and apply custom include or exclude rules to keep sensitive system folders hidden from everyday browsing. A background indexing engine powers instant as-you-type search across millions of files, letting you filter results by file size, folder size, media type, or modification date in milliseconds. Rich media thumbnails render automatically for videos, office documents, audio album artwork, and interactive 3D models, while integrated OnlyOffice support lets you edit spreadsheets and word processing documents directly inside your browser tab. Built-in WebDAV server support allows desktop operating systems and mobile file apps to mount your remote directories as native network drives. Sharing files with external collaborators takes seconds through customizable public or private links with expiration timers, download limits, password protection, anonymous upload permissions, and custom branding themes. Administrators can authenticate users via OpenID Connect, LDAP, JSON Web Tokens, proxy headers, or local passwords with two-factor authentication, then enforce path-level read, write, and delete rules per user or group. Developers and automation engineers can generate long-lived API tokens and explore the interactive Swagger endpoint to script file transfers and directory provisioning.

Point a browser at your server's folders and skip the FTP clients, the SSH tunnels, and the heavyweight cloud clones: Mikochi turns any directory on your machine into a clean web file browser you can open from anywhere. You browse nested folders in a fast list view, jump to files with fuzzy search, upload new material, create folders, rename items, and delete what is no longer needed. Whole directories come down as a single tar.gz archive, which makes backups and bulk transfers painless. Media files get a smarter treatment: Mikochi generates streaming links that open directly in VLC or mpv, so a film or album stored on the server plays on your screen without downloading gigabytes first. Access stays protected behind a username and password login with JWT sessions, and you can serve everything over TLS with your own certificates or disable authentication entirely on a trusted private network. Deployment takes one Docker command with a mounted data directory, and Kubernetes users get an official Helm chart. Homelab owners point it at a NAS share, developers drop it on a build box, and anyone tired of scp commands gets a permanent window into their files.

Somewhere in every organisation there is a folder called FINAL_v2 that nobody dares delete, and Drive from La Suite exists to end that. It gives teams a shared file space where uploads land in organised workspaces, versions stay findable through search, and every file or folder carries its own access list. You preview PDFs, images, audio, and video in the browser, and office documents open for editing through Collabora or OnlyOffice without downloading a thing. Sharing reaches outside the organisation too: invite external partners by link, even without an account, and revoke access the moment a project ends. Uploads pass malware scanning before they touch storage, a trash bin restores accidents, and quotas with usage metrics keep big archives honest. Administrators plug in their own OIDC identity provider, so logins follow the same single sign-on as the rest of the stack, while an embeddable file picker lets other internal apps reuse Drive as their document library. Because the data lives in your own S3-compatible storage, sovereignty requests stop being an argument with a vendor and become a setting. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Browse, upload, edit, preview, and archive the files on your server from any web browser, with no FTP client, no shell session, and no database to set up. Tiny File Manager lists every folder in a sortable table showing size, modified date, permissions, and owner, with a search box that filters as you type. Drag files into the upload zone, send several at once, or paste a URL for the server to fetch. Rename items, select several to copy, move, delete, or pack into a zip or tar archive, and extract uploaded archives on the server. Click any text file to open the built-in editor, which offers syntax highlighting for 150+ languages and 35+ color themes, so quick fixes to configs and scripts happen where the files live. Images, audio, video, and text open in a preview without downloading, and every file has a copyable direct link. Give teammates or clients their own accounts, each locked to a root folder you choose, mark accounts read-only, and limit uploads to approved file extensions. Hide folders you never want listed, restrict access with IP allow and block lists, switch between light and dark themes, pick from 35+ interface languages, and use the responsive layout on a phone. Setup is one file copied to a web server, or one Docker container. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

Filestash puts a Dropbox-style web interface in front of the SFTP servers, S3 buckets, SMB shares, and WebDAV storage you already run, so no file has to move. Administrators enable each connector, including FTP, NFS, Git, Dropbox, Google Drive, Storj, IPFS, and Backblaze B2, from one admin console. Colleagues browse, rename, move, and upload in a single folder view, with resumable uploads for big transfers. Thumbnails cover JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, HEIF, and RAW photos. Images open with an EXIF info panel, and PDFs, audio, video, and EPUB ebooks open right in the browser. A CodeMirror editor handles text and code, and HLS transcoding streams video on demand. Outside guests get a shared link instead of credentials, with an optional password, an expiry date, and read, write, or upload-only rights. Limit a link to one email address or a whole domain, or mount it as a network drive. A workflow engine chains emails and HTTP calls after file events, webhooks, or schedules. Flip one admin setting and Claude, ChatGPT, and Mistral Le Chat can use the connected storage as MCP tools. Downloadable file apps add Office documents, 3D models, and GIS maps. Runtime plugins are zip files dropped into the plugins folder. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.
