Before you switch
Self-hosted file storage, desktop sync and sharing using your own disk/server instead of buying hosted storage. Hosting, disks, electricity, bandwidth and backups are extra. Does not increase Gmail, Google Drive or Google Photos account quota, migrate all photo features, or provide Google AI benefits or TeraBox playback features. No provider-funded hosted storage is included. Desktop full sync can fill local disk; configure client behaviour and backups carefully.
