| What’s a good Dropbox alternative? Especially for Macs. Feels like they spent twenty years just making the Mac client worse. |

| I heard you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem |

| Self-host. NextCloud on a moose instance
https://mooseos.com/store/nextcloud 1 click install, daily backups, no need to manage anything |
| |
| ▲ | onel a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Yeah, definitely not 1-to-1 comparison as moose has a VM underneath and you can run pretty much anything | |
| ▲ | rjh29 a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Dropbox is 2TB for the same price as your 40GB. Cool idea though. | |
| ▲ | throwaway270925 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | 9€/m for 40GB? Yeah no, thats a terrible suggestion! Just get yourself a Hetzner Storage Share for 4.29€/m with nextcloud managed for you and 1TB! https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/ | | |
| ▲ | onel a day ago | parent [-] | | That is a great offer if you're only looking for a nextcloud backup. If you also need an immich instance and some jellyfin, you need another machine. A single purpose service is always more efficient then a more generilized one |

| iCloud Drive is the obvious choice. |
| |
| ▲ | haunter a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Last I've tried iCloud Drive is not preserving file attributes especially if you want to use it cross OS between Mac and Windows. Dropbox does. | |
| ▲ | fg137 a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Last time I checked, there was no file history, which basically meant it's useless to me. | |
| ▲ | prodigycorp a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | iCloud Drive does not allow you to recover files if you put them into the trash and empty it by accident. I learned this the hardest of ways. | | |
| ▲ | LeoPanthera a day ago | parent [-] | | That seems... reasonable? You have to trash the files and empty the trash before you lose them. Isn't that what the trash is for? | | |
| ▲ | prodigycorp 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Issue is I accidentally used cmd+delete which deletes items immediately. And I’m so used to how Dropbox does it that it wasn’t my assumption. Accidentally lost a bunch of data that way, figured I’d spread the word. |

| Use maestral.app on Linux and macOS. Also bypasses the free Dropbox account's limitations on 3 devices. |

| Self-hosted Seafile + Tailscale works great for me. |
