I replaced google drive with koofr. Very happy so far! Still unsure what I'm doing about Google wallet/Google pay...

How are Heliboard and Here Wego?

I checked out nextcloud and koofr when switching from Google drive and settled on koofr. In terms of the criteria you outlined above:

  • Decent desktop client + network drive which appears like a USB key in your file system, super usable
  • Very good android app
  • No document editing but you can open everything from the network drive using the editing software on your device and it syncs to the cloud
  • Nice price (45 euro for 200GB, which is all I need)
  • Downside: no integrated document suite for editing in the browser but the workaround with the network drive is very straightforward (one click to enable in the desktop client)

I don't need a massive amount of cloud storage, in the terabytes, say, so I've found koofr ideal for my purposes. Another bonus for me is it's a Slovene company so must be GDPR compliant.

Yep would've switched to koofr ages ago but I've been happy with the Google drive experience until I wasn't...

Koofr is great, very user friendly!

To your list, I've also switched out:

  • Gmail for mailbox.org
  • Google calendar for calengoo
  • Drive for koofr
  • Netflix for Mubi
  • Google docs for onlyoffice
  • Edit: and chrome for Vivaldi

No complaints so far, they don't all have exactly the same functions as the products I replaced, but they very much do the job and I'm happy overall.

Koofr and mailbox also respond rapidly to tech help requests 👍
