The cheap Google Drive alternative that costs less as you grow
Google Workspace charges $14 per person, every month. Nextcloud charges one flat price. Add five team members or fifty: your cost stays the same. No per-seat billing. No vendor lock-in. Your data, under your control.
The hidden cost of Google Workspace
Google Workspace's per-seat model looked cheap at first. At $14/user/month, a team of 5 costs $840 annually. At 10 people? $1,680. At 25? $4,200. The math gets ugly when you're hiring.
But cost is just the start
Every file you upload to Google Drive trains Google's AI models. Your sales playbooks. Your customer strategies. Proprietary data. Google benefits from every upload.
Export 500 files from Drive? Possible. Migrate workflows, sharing rules, version history, and permissions? That's a week of manual work. Google's lock-in is built into friction, not contracts.
GDPR isn't optional anymore
EU companies storing data in US data centers violate GDPR. The fines start at €20 million or 4% of global revenue. Compliance audits for US-hosted tools burn time and budget. Your German law firm can't use Google Workspace legally in many cases.
Nextcloud solves all three
Flat pricing that doesn't scale with headcount. Your data stays in EU data centers, away from AI training and US law enforcement. Open-source means no lock-in, your data is portable. You can leave anytime without losing a single file.
Why teams switch from Google Workspace
Google Workspace Standard pricing: $14/user/month. Nextcloud cost depends on storage tier, not headcount.

Common questions
Nextcloud charges one flat price per storage tier, no matter how many people use it. Google Workspace charges $14 per person, every month. A team of three sharing 500 GB of files costs $504/year in Google Workspace. In Nextcloud, it's one plan. Once you hit four or five team members, Nextcloud is cheaper. And it stays cheaper the bigger you grow.
