Managed Nextcloud service somewhere in the Nordics.
Hetzner would be perfect but they only offer it in Germany, and I have connection issues with Germany from Finland. I tried BaCloud which is based in Lithuania I think and it's very very fast, but it's a single account and I can't even install some simple Nextcloud apps.
Is there something similar to Hetzner's Storage Share but somewhere in the Nordics?
Thanks

Perhaps a business opportunity for you vito
They own a DC in Finland!

But storage share, which is their managed Nextcloud offer, is only in Falkenstein (Germany).
Sadly Nextcloud is only available in Germany
"This product is no longer available or has no individual configuration available."
This looks like a good candidate if the connection with The Netherlands is OK. Thanks! Will give it a try.
Storage Boxes are available in Finland as well.

The Nextcloud product is called "Storage Share". It's different
I know, but nevertheless you can access a Storage Box via a whole lot of methods and even mount it to a hetzner server which isn't a Managed Nextcloud anymore but as close as you can get, i guess.
It's a completely different thing. I use storage boxes in Finland for backups already.

never tried any of them.
This may be it! It's transferring at around 54-50 MB/sec which is MUCH better than what I get with Hetzner and other providers in Germany (and I have tried many).
For now I ordered only 25 GB to do some testing and if all looks good I'll scale up. The product seems good, I can create multiple accounts and install apps (which I couldn't do with BaCloud), but I can't add a custom domain from the control panel so I contacted them to ask if it's possible.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
Thanks! I will try these too if it doesn't go well with AllSync.
I used them for a while. They have doubled costs in last year so I regret not keeping my account because it was 2 euros for a 1TB if I remember.
Yeah price wise it's expensive at over 8 euros per TB (EU location), but if it works well I'm OK with that. Upload speed seems stable but download speed not so sure. Need more testing.
I just had a quick look at their product and just noticed they use cloudflare for their eu storage, is there a way to circumvent this?
Why do you care if they use Cloudflare?
Not sure why the first download was a bit slower but now it looks pretty good!
Did you have any issues in the time you used the service?
I avoid putting Cloudflare in front of my Nextcloud for several reasons. The main concern for me is GDPR compliance. When you use Cloudflare's proxy, all traffic gets decrypted and passes through their US-based servers, making them a data processor. This means my data is exposed to a third party, which creates privacy issues and complicates GDPR compliance significantly.
Beyond the privacy concerns, there are also technical problems. Cloudflare's caching mechanisms interferes with WebDAV and CalDAV protocols, causing sync failures with desktop and mobile clients. I've also experienced timeout issues that interrupt long-running operations, which is frustrating when syncing large amounts of data.
From a philosophical standpoint, if you're running Nextcloud specifically for privacy reasons to escape big tech surveillance, routing everything through Cloudflare somewhat defeats that purpose.
Thanks for the explanation
