    When Dropbox crippled their Linux support, I cancelled my (paid) account and set up an OwnCloud instance. It runs on a microserver in the closet, and files are backed up overnight to NAS. The setup and testing process took a few hours, as these things always do, but overall it was remarkably painless. Recommended!

    The biggest pain is that my ISP only supports IPv4, and charges a lot for a static IP address. So, for external access, I have to mess with dynamic DNS. That's a nuisance, and I will eventually change ISPs.

    It's 2019!

    Time for your micro-server to come out of the closet.
