Nextcloud ... it's your next pain.

What do you like best? It's open source and looks great. The features looks good. What do you dislike? We have spent more than two days to try to get it running: 1) We have used the Ubunu snap setup It was great: we could immediately log in.

Security: ...

Great self hosted Cloud

What do you like best? Available everywhere and with every device. Nice integration to LDAP authentication and groups. Really easy to add needed enhancements. Good variety of enhancements available.

What do you like best? I love that Nextcloud allows me to have very Google Docs/Calendar/Drive like functionality that can be completely self-hosted. I have concerns about the privacy of my data and this helps me to feel better about who is controlling my data (me). I also like how active the community is and how easy it is to find answers to my questions. The community support that I've seen has been really great and I'm glad to be using software that has such a thriving community. ...
