# Google Drive is an okay OneDrive alternative, this open-source cloud storage platform is better than both

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Twake Workplace is presented as an open-source alternative to Google Drive and OneDrive that goes beyond file storage. It integrates mail, notes, and chat in a single workspace, offers homepage customization, and is hosted in Europe under strict EU privacy laws. It offers 5GB free storage with paid plans unlocking an OnlyOffice-powered document editor. Limitations include no password protection for shared files and slower upload speeds. Nextcloud and Proton are also mentioned as other open-source alternatives.
