A community member asked Moreno Razzoli (@morrolinux) if there was a #FOSS alternative to #Dropbox that works well for both personal use & companies. The answer turned into a surprising @OpenCloud vs. @nextcloud deep dive.

Here’s what the #opensource pro says 👇🐧💾

Yo Fedi!

Is there anyone here who uses Backblaze with Linux? Do you use the CLI client and scripts, or a third-party tool from this list at the link? Infodump on me please.

Did you know you can run your own #Dropbox alternative with FOSS?🐧💻💾

@morrolinux shows how @OpenCloud runs on just €3 VPS for simple file syncing, while @nextcloud gives you a full digital office for more advanced setups.

Does anyone know of a tool like YoYota or Archiware P5 which will run on Linux?
I need something which can archive an arbitrary set of files to a NAS share or disk location (as a compressed file), LTO tape, and ideally to Backblaze or S3.

I have too many old "not worked on in ages" projects and backup CDs kicking around and need to tidy up.

Edit: I know of Bacula but find it a pain to use.
