5 reasons Collabora is the best self-hosted Google Workspace alternative

Google Workspace is a phenomenally powerful tool with a rich interface, a slew of AI options via Gemini, and tons of third-party integrations — but it isn't the most private option. For all of Google's measures to protect your data, it's still stored on Google servers and subject to its privacy policies. If you want something a bit more secure, Collabora is a great self-hosted alternative that gives you total control of the data stored on the server. Yes, it requires more upfront work, and more effort goes into maintaining functioning servers, but when privacy is paramount, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option.
