From OneDrive to OpenCloud

Why am I using OneDrive?

  • Backup single files
  • Have all my files available on various machines, Windows, iOS, MacOS
  • Share single files or directories with other people without password needs
  • I have a terabyte of storage as part of my MS365 license

Why do I want to get rid of the OneDrive storage?

  • Independence of big (US) companies
  • Avoid analytics on my data

What else do I expect from my new file storage platform?

  • Backup of entire machine
  • Searchability extensions (full text search in all files)
  • Backup/Restore concept of the instance itself

Why OpenCloud?

  • German, EU-located, opensource project
  • Stores metadata together with data (simple backup concept)
  • Lightweight
  • Docker compose as main installation path recommended by developer
