    It's compatible with Federated Cloud sharing, meaning it can send and receive shares from Nextcloud and ownCloud servers as well

    NextCloud is groupware. Pydio is a file-sync storage solution. Just because they have overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable.

    pCloud advertises itself as being a Swiss company with Swiss privacy laws, but if you email them or check the IP of the server they use US-based servers. Buyer beware.

    Although on the surface the features may seem comparable (calendar & media storage, etc.), the way the work and the functionality they bring is vastly different. NextCloud is a hosted groupware solution; it provides the backend for these activites. iCloud merely provides syncing capabilities between Apple's single-purpose apps.
