People will cite a lot of issues with nextcloud’s performance and stability, and I do get that it’s a bit bloated, but anecdotally it’s worked pretty much fine for me since day 1 (minus a few self-inflicted issues mostly regarding permissions). I’m not using the AIO though, I just use the nextcloud docker image with my own collabora instance running alongside it
Nextcloud is already on the list but I just wanted to mention that self-hosting isn’t the only way to use it. Frankly for the price of a hosted solution it isn’t worth it unless you already have a server for other things.
Honestly the only drawback is if you don’t already do selfhosting, NextCloud is kind of a big undertaking. If you’re already familiar with containerization and networking basics, it’s very smooth.
No drawback if you have the hardware and know how to do it, but those are major obstacles for the vast majority of people who use Google Drive. Signing up for a hosted instance is much easier (and not even more expensive)
I’d add hosted Nextcloud too. Hetzner for example have 1TB for less than 5 EUR/mo and it works great on Linux.

What’s the drawback of self hosted? I’ve had a self-hosted instance running on a raspberry pi for a few months now, and so far it’s working out great.

NextCloud is in the Other Options section! It also gets a special feature in the Photo Apps guide :)
Yes but it is mentionned as self hosted while it doesn’t have to be.
