I am trying to get away from Google and am looking for a decent cloud service that’s integrated well into Linux, either by itself or by using rclone.

I tried Proton drive, but it is laggy and overall not very good.

I just need storage, nothing fancy. Self hosting is not an option tough, at this time.

EDIT: I don’t want to write the same answer 15 times, so I’ll just put this here: Thanks a lot for the recommendations to all of you! I’ve got some reading up to do now :-)

    And the software providing the calendar and contacts features can be uninstalled

    I don’t understand what that has to do with anything. You can uninstall the entire DE if you want to.

    What’s the distinction you’re making?

    One is integrated into the system and the other is not? I thought that was pretty clear…?

    It doesn’t make nextcloud any more centrally integrated than steam is.

    Steam is not integrated. At all.

      One is integrated into the system and the other is not?

      What system? The DE?

      A linux desktop install is a system of systems. Almost none of which are essential, all of which are interchangeable with other versions and options.

      The nextcloud desktop client honestly integrates with “the filesystem” much more closely than the Online Account functionality of KDE. Is it part of “the distro”?

      Steam is not integrated. At all.

      Really? Even on Bazzite, the distro that can replace SteamOS and all its handheld console functionality?

      Steam is basically an entire DE in gaming mode.

        What system?

        The operating system?

        Is it part of “the distro”?

        The NextCloud app does not come packaged as part of “the distro” and is not integrated into the system settings, so obviously not.

        Really? Even on Bazzite

        Yes, really.

        This argument is dumb. I’m done.
