Meanwhile across the Atlantic in Europe, Google and Microsoft are being removed from classrooms, governments, and military agencies in favor of open source private clouds such as Nextcloud with Collabora office. This is due to GDPR and data sovereignty. Private clouds is what these companies fear as features mature.

Superior data sovereignty and control of the environments is the driver. Some user features are inferior but are being improved with the participation of the user community that includes the IT staffs of the customer organizations who can create add on apps and pull requests to the main code base.
