Now this could ofc. be different, if you can afford buying direct support from Nextcloud, but their publicly available options for selfhosting are so buggy and slow IMO that I speculate that itโ€™s almost a net-negative influence on the self-hosted movement. They try to do too much and donโ€™t look at their bug trackers.

I run my own NC instance and I agree that it is slow. But at work my our company utilizes Dropbox. I am not sure if it is due to amount of files or something, but Dropbox web interface is as sluggish or even worse than my single account NC instance.

One major issue I found with Dropbox is that searching returns "something went wrong" if Dropbox is accessed through Firefox. Edge, and I presume any other chromium browsers works fine.

Interesting, the NC instance I use are quite fast

E.g. thumbnail generation maybe 5x slower than Immich in my experience. Loading folders in apps (in particular large ones) is also slower than owncloud OCIS in my view. I guess if you run a powerful enough machine there will be no difference? I have tried on two different Odroid single boards

I mostly use it for Calendar and Talk, they are okay. Thank you for your comment, it's interesting

I also used talk (+turn server) for video calls but found i had to restart it often when no connection could be made, do you run into that?

[โ€“] Blaze@piefed.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago

It works okay for me

Yeah, TBH, I dropped NC some years ago because each update almost needed a complete reconfigure.

I hope this means that they have enough funding to get the bugs squashed.
