Just migrated all my Gdrive stuff there to support a European company. What would be a similar alternative with reasonable pricing, cloud storage and online office suite from multiple devices? I don’t need a VPN, mail, chat or meeting software to be included.
For collaboration with others, I’d need to expose my self-hosted services to the internet which then leads to a high maintenance effort with patches, updates etc. to avoid attackers from accessing my data and network.
And even without the collaboration aspect, if I kept it in my intranet only, I’d need to permanently use a VPN to access my data. Which may be problematic as well when using a weak mobile network or if I need another VPN in parallel to access stuff in another network.
For a certain level of security and privacy, I personally prefer public cloud solutions where I can just use a service without too much effort.

I’d warn anyone going to EU services to take note of the new encryption laws.
Self hosted is the way. The only way. (The best way to f-up your data too, so make archives.)

Just encrypt your files before you upload them. Either with rclone, cryptomator or with a basic .7z locked zipfolder.
i personally use filen for cloud storage
cryptpad has good office suite
Nextcloud. If you dont want to selfhost it you can try https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/
that’s another good alternative

Sounds like an interesting concept but isn’t it pure hosting without managed services like online office etc.?
