Chiming in to repeat the same as before commenters:
Nextcloud is only an option if you are trying to selfhost something that google and apple are giving you for free in exchange for your data. Is it secure there? somewhat. Is it private? Well, not so much but they’re not breaking any laws as far as we know.
Now there‘s nextcloud. It is only as private as you make it and only as secure as you make it. If you host it on a sketchy server out in the open, you can bet you will be compromised (your data lands in someone elses hand) or you will lose it alltogether.
So, think of nextcloud as the privacy twin of icloud and google cloud for the tech literate. If you‘re not ready to self host it, pay for the host or the electricity or don‘t know how to harden it against attacks, please use a big tech option.
Hetzner is a great VPS provider that can manage nextcloud for you, check this out: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share I think it’s a great upgrade on privacy with the administration and security being all covered by profesionals ;)
