If so, how was the overall experience? Looks like a much better alternative than completely relying on Google Drive and you can't beat the price (free!)

I've setup "OwnCloud", I'm a nerd but never had real serious experiences with linux, I work in IT so I understand the basics of many things.

I've setup a debian VM on HyperV on my totally legal Windows server (Yes, nothing is opensource but at the same time while doing this stuff I learn new things for my job which is nice).

Mainly I followed this guides: https://www.tecmint.com/install-owncloud-in-debian/ https://kifarunix.com/install-owncloud-server-on-debian-10-buster/

It's running since 3 years and I'm amazed by how low maintenance it is. It syncs the whole library with 2 of my computers and on-demand files on the android app.
