I want to selfhost cloud drive and looking for what would be the best option. I originally used Nextcloud, but it has a lot of features not related to file hosting so I would be interested in something simpler. I found out about Cozy Cloud (https://cozy.io) but there is really little info about that. Has anyone used that and how does it compare to Nextcloud?
I have no idea about cozy.io, but just to offer another option, I’ve been running Seafile for years and it’s pretty solid piece of hardware. And while it does have other stuff than just file storage/sharing, it’s mostly about just files and nothing else. Android client isn’t the best one around, but gets the job done (background tasks at least on mine tend to freeze now and then), on desktop it just works.
