Before step 1
you will need
- A VPS or always-on home machine with disk you actually trust
- S3-compatible object storage or a RAID array plus a real offsite backup
- A domain and TLS cert for share links
- Willingness to test your own restore path before you need it

Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.

That is the whole plan for Google Drive. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- Real sync clients on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, including offline files and conflict resolution
- Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides opening inline with live multiplayer editing
- Durability and availability engineering you will never match, plus versioning and trash that actually works
- Sharing with people who already have accounts, plus granular permissions and audit trails
- OCR and content search inside PDFs and images, and the mobile scanner
