To be Frank its not crappy software. To be me, it's crappy terms of service.

Is such a thing even possible? 👽
If one forgoes contracts and is trusting, anybody can host their private files on my private, self-hosted servers. But only if it's sensitive documents. Like the stuff you wouldn't want to host at a standard online host.
Completely free, aint that just a sweet deal?
Personally I find time and money tertiary to privacy and would pay 10 times the standard rate for a truly secure host.
Unfortunately they don't exist so I learned to self host encrypted servers with VPN access on private infrastructure.
Beat use of time and money ever.
Sure, it takes me about 5 minutes plus some waiting for the system to initialise.
If you pay for the hosting fee I'll do it for free since it's so quick and simple.
It's literally pasting one command to install a full GUI, open source web admin panel with one-click installations of apps.
You want Matrix Synapse, Nextcloud Talk, XMPP or mail-based chatting? I can also recommend Jitsi for teleconferences.
