If avoiding the client, but uses other tools that can do WEBDav, you can utilize Nextcloud as a backup solution, as then you are completely controlling the flow of your files. However if not configuring the client correctly, it will synchronize all changes - including if files dissappears. It syncronizes (copies) your files each time it is saved to your disk, to the Nextcloud server you are connected to. The benefir of the latter is that you do not need to be a techi, but the experience is very limited on the free tiers.Ĭan it be used to backup your files? In a sense. You can choose if you wanna build/spin up your own Nextcloud server, or signup with a provider like “The good cloud”. The difference is the Nextcloud is a self hosted - or in this case there is a company not affiliated with nextcloud who has setup a service build on nextcloud - Open Source web application that offers the same core features as OneDrive and Google Drive. Like google drive, you installs a client, which connects to a webservice and syncronizes the files and folders from the location on your local machine you choose, to an online storage. However this is the easiest way to explain it: Installing the client canj be used to always have your files a safe place. The clients are add-ons which is there to greatly enhance the usability and power of the server side application.
The main product is a server side application. Nextcloud is first and foremost a WEB application.
It is a free option with 2GB of free storage.
