// EDITOR'S TAKE
Nextcloud is the only project here covering both halves of Drive, storage plus in-browser document editing through its office integrations, which is why it is the usual replacement despite needing careful tuning. Seafile is faster and more dependable at pure sync, OpenCloud is the lighter modern take on the same enterprise ground, and Ente handles photos and videos only.
