There are two sections that are similar:

file sync
selfhosted cloud

If you look at the options, these do file sync (file management, sync clients, bit of editing) primarily:

SparkleShare
Syncthing
Pydio
Tahoe-LAFS

And one, Nextcloud (I'm affiliated) is an 'app platform' which is similar to Office 365 and Google Apps with Calendar, Contact, Mail, Notes, online document editing and, yes, file storage and sync. And about 150 other things, see apps.nextcloud.com.

Now you could either put Nextcloud alone in selfhosted cloud, as it is indeed far beyond file storage, or just remove that category and clean up file sync, limiting it to three options.

You can perhaps look at Google Trends or Alexa or something to pick the most suitable, or pick three of them based on differentiation - eg SparkleShare because it is git based and very nice for geeks, Tahoe-LAFS because it is awesome as a decentralized file storage spread over all participants, and Nextcloud as it is a full self-hosted office365 replacement. Pydio and Syncthing don't do anything the three above don't do, so maybe they can be honorable mentions...

Whatever the decision, I'm happy to do a PR to implement it.

If you want, you could make a quick PR to see what you would envision as a improvement.
