Google Drive is Google's cloud file store, tightly bound to Docs, Sheets and a shared 15 GB quota. Self-hosters want to keep documents out of a platform that can suspend accounts, to pay for disks rather than subscriptions, and to hold regulated or sensitive files in their own jurisdiction.
9 open-source alternatives to Google Drive you can host yourself, ranked by GitHub stars and updated daily.
