I&#x27;ve installed and abandoned ownCloud several times, mostly because it is far too heavy for what I need and I had concerns about its security. I also had to set up EncFS on my local machines for client-side encryption of sensitive files because there was no way I was trusting that to ownCloud server-side.<p>It took more work to set up but I have Seafile self-hosted on the smallest DigitalOcean VPS and it works beautifully. $5&#x2F;month, plenty of space for the amount of files I need to sync across machines, and my data is in Germany which is great (I&#x27;m in Europe). Native client-side encryption is built-in to the client so I have an easier configuration on local machines, and it does most of what I need.<p>I&#x27;m still looking for a good self-hosted CalDAV&#x2F;CardDAV option that doesn&#x27;t require PHP or MySQL, but as this data is less sensitive I&#x27;m happy to trust it to FastMail for now.
