There is a free and a paid version but trust me the free version covers everything that you’ll ever want from a personal cloud software without limitations. You decide if they can just read the data or edit it and upload new files. Share just the folders you want with only those people that you give a private link. It has settings to encrypt all your uploaded files and documents with a custom key. You are not dependent on Google, Microsoft or anyone else. It’s completely private and can easily be run on a personal machine. It’s a very brave and wise decision to make an open-source personal cloud project. The core part of the source code is out there, easy for everyone to access on Github, analyse, improve, comment and develop. Next Cloud started as a fork of the popular Own Cloud platform developed by Own Cloud Inc. That’s why I got myself a personal VPS server and I use my own VPN for privacy. How do you think they pay for such services? One good way is selling your data to bigger companies, so they show you relative adds and who knows what else they use that data for. If something is free, too cheap or too wonderful to believe it probably has it’s cost. I don’t trust even those companies who swear in their honesty and are telling you they won’t ever track you. Lazy people will be hooked with those terms they agreed to, without first reading them and then, at some point in their lives, realise they did an irreparable mistake. This is something that bugs me, not because I am someone who has something to hide, but because I respect myself and when a company as big as Google asks me to “ READ AND AGREE” to its new terms I just “ READ AND DISAGREE”. I am very aware that all our data online such as music, pictures, chat, voice messages, e-mails, browsing history and all the things we share are no longer private. Nowadays every big corporation is monitoring us and if it could, it would take all our biometrics and data and use them as it sees fit.
