Nextcloud Desktop Client ou Google Drive : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

Nextcloud Desktop Client, alternative Linux à Google Drive

Mis à jour le 22 octobre 2026

Notre avis

The Nextcloud Desktop Client can replace Google Drive for users who already run a Nextcloud server or are willing to set one up. It provides two‑way sync, offline access, selective sync, and version history, matching most everyday Google Drive use cases. It is ideal for privacy‑conscious users, small teams, or anyone who wants to keep files locally while sharing via Nextcloud’s web interface. However, it does not offer the same Google Docs/Sheets/Slides collaboration suite, so users who rely heavily on real‑time document editing will need an alternative.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Google Drive

Google Drive files such as .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx can be opened with LibreOffice or other office suites after syncing. Nextcloud does not convert Google Docs files to native formats automatically; users must export from the web interface or use the Nextcloud office suite if available. For plain text and binary files, compatibility is identical to any other cloud service.

Questions fréquentes

Will my Google Drive files be automatically converted to Nextcloud formats?

No. Nextcloud stores files as they are. If you need Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, export them to a compatible format before syncing.

Can I use the same Google Drive shared links in Nextcloud?

No. Shared links are specific to each service. You’ll need to recreate sharing permissions in Nextcloud’s web interface.

Does Nextcloud support large file uploads like Google Drive?

Yes. Nextcloud can handle large files, but the upload speed depends on your server’s bandwidth and storage limits.
