Say goodbye to Google Workspace. Someone built a complete replacement that runs on your own server, costs nothing, and has 400+ apps. It's called Nextcloud. 400,000 organizations are already running it. The German federal government switched to it. The French public sector switched to it. The European Parliament uses it. None of them are doing it to save money. Here's what one install actually gives you: → File sync and sharing that works exactly like Dropbox → Live document editing with full Word/Excel compatibility, no internet required → Video calls with end-to-end encryption and no vendor in the call with you → Photo backup with local AI face grouping, your machine, your data → Calendar and contacts synced to every device through open standards → 400+ apps including Jira-style project boards, Spotify-style music streaming, and RSS readers The architecture is the part nobody talks about. Nextcloud does not route your data through their servers. Ever. Your server talks directly to your devices. No company in the middle. No terms of service that can change overnight. No price increase email you have to swallow. Google Workspace costs $12/user/month and owns everything you put in it. Nextcloud costs whatever your VPS costs and owns nothing. 35K stars. 100% Opensource.
