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!
Urly (Italy) and urlr (France)
From here: https://www.goeuropean.org/, haven’t actually used either myself but maybe you can report back some time if you go ahead with one or both?
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 👍
Also a fan of mailbox having switched
