aboblaGoogle restores Nextcloud user’s file access on Android
wingsfortheirsmilesHow nice of Google to highlight another Drive/One competitor to me.
Any reviews/feedback from current Nextcloud users? I do plane to eventually self host but would start off using storage included in the plan
sadTruthI’ve been self-hosting it for about 10 years now. It’s a castle built on sand (PHP): It’s hard to install, hard to update, and becomes slower by the day, but once you have learned Docker, Apache, SSL and a bit of SQL, it works mostly reliable.
If you just want file syncronization you could just buy a hosted instance, and use Cryptomator for protecting your privacy. Then you can have Nextcloud in under 30mins.
If you want to store large amounts of data, or you also want to use Calendar, Collabora, Talk,… then self-hosting will be cheaper/more private. But it will require lot’s of learning, far more than the ordinary person can do.
Never has there been a more fitting username with a comment. It’s so true. I would hop over to another more future proof solution in a heart beat if it existed. This is all compounded by the fact that once you learn the quirks and get it in a good place you start not minding it so much. It’s somewhere between sunk cost fallacy and Stockholm syndrome.
Yea, recently I set up immich and while it’s solving a way more narrow problem it’s so much more responsive and felt much more “put together”.
