AFAIK, Google, Microsoft and Proton do not offer native Linux clients. I'm sure they all make extensive use of Linux servers (I'll give Microsoft a pass on the backend but not on their lack of Linux support) and should make an effort to support Linux desktops.

I'm unsure if there are other services that offer Linux support, and I do know that 3rd-party software to connect to Google Drive does exist but know nothing about it

Yes, I have successfully used #Syncthing in the somewhat recent past, but file sync to a central server is a different service that is better for my workflow.

The key for my situation was finding a Nextcloud provider, which in my case is TheGood.Cloud. I'm happy to pay a customer-focused European company to run it for me. I can work on my local filesystem, in compatible desktop apps, on the phone and in the browser.

Browser-Based Euro Office Clone

This is an experimental, local-first project designed to demonstrate client-side managed functionality without requiring any setup. By leveraging the FileSystem API, it offers a unique approach to storing files directly on your device from your browser.

Current Features:
- PWA (Progressive Web App)
- Local-first storage
- Word processor
- Spreadsheet tool
- PDF capability

Coming Soon:

- Support for more file types
- Storage synchronization
- Collaborative editing
- Encryption at rest
- P2P file-transfer

Long-Term Goals (Clones of):
- NextCloud
- WhatsApp
- Instagram
- WeTransfer

Note: This project is experimental, far from finished, and presented strictly for testing, feedback, and demo purposes (USE RESPONSIBLY!).

Check out the demo version and let me know your thoughts!

@yehor @hmiron No, #OpenCloud is not built on #Nextcloud code. OpenCloud is a fork of OCIS, which is a brand new codebase (started to supersede/achieve similar things as OwnCloud – which shares a codebase with Nextcloud).

@hmiron as I understood, #OpenCloud is based on #NextCloud code, and their goal is to build a lighter version of NextCloud. And it is already a simpler and lighter version of it. I still can be wrong.

#OpenCloud is a #Nextcloud I deserve.

I'm setting up a personal mail server for a #NextCloud deployment I'm building. But for some reason I'm getting excited that this basic stuff is working.

I've closed 7 and 8 figure cybersecurity deals, and I'm grinning to myself over SPF records.

Okay, what #NextCloud providers can you recommend which have a proven track record for reliability? That is to say, they _shouldn't_ have multiple day outages with no updates, like my current provider does.

I'm looking at a free tier to test it out, but if I am satisfied with the performance I might eventually use it instead of #GoogleDrive (and switch to paid tiers).

Open Source projects should be hosted on Open Source products.
