Nextcloud

Kommentare: All in all, this allowed me to work remotely, schedule things, and to have my data at hand. It does serve as an easy backup too. When I bring on someone else, we will be able to easily keep in sync, as scalability is builtin.

Vorteile: What I really like is how it will sync my photos from my phone to my cloud, which I can then have on my computer. I can take a picture, and then have it on my laptop or desktop. It allows me to have my own set of personal notes on it, that are not scanned nor data mined. They are simple to use and allow me to jot down ideas and things to do. I can sync my calendar to it, allowing me to schedule things on my computer or on my phone. Personally, I like the Docker image that they have, as it allowed me to quickly set it up and get it working.

Nachteile: As the software is self-hosted, sometimes it has given me trouble, but mainly because it's running on a very small computer (comparable to a Raspberry Pi). But it's been a few months since that's happened, and if I had an HA setup, that wouldn't be an issue.

Kommentare: Hands-down best cloud system I've used. Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive - I've tried them all, and beyond storage capacity that's either limited or costly, they don't offer as much flexibility for managing multiple folders. And even the best of them had conflict files more often than I've seen with Nextcloud.

Vorteile: Nextcloud has opened up smoother, more flexible workflows for coordinating work between machines in my office and team members around the world. Lately we've been expanding our use of Nextcloud to include many of the popular apps available for it, like Calendar, Announcements, and the nifty kanban tool Deck.

Nachteile: Easier ways to deploy apps to specific groups would be welcome, and given Nextcloud's strong community I trust that's in the works.

Kommentare: Overall it has been good. There have been problems with upgrades but thankfully there have been others who upgraded before me and put tips on how to proceed. There should be one forum that deals with each upgrade by number and all solutions can be found there. If there is a solution, it should be marked as such so we can easily find the solutions we need.

Vorteile: I like that I have control over my data and can adjust things a bit for my needs.

Nachteile: Not all the things work right. I have serious problems with the client. I get many error messages about sync, favorites don't work, and it is not very intuitive for the average non-techie.

Kommentare: At the beginning I was using it to store my online courses to have a centralized point to consult them.
Progressively I used it to backup automatically my personal pictures from my phone, numerised official documents, to share documents with friends and family.
Really no more use of dropbox or things like this now

Vorteile: This is quite easy to set up and administrate.
Updates are very easy to install.
Great overall functionnalities and good documentation Open source FTW

Nachteile: The client may need some upgrades and a better integration with desktop maybe ?

Kommentare: From a simplistic view, having company reference material available on both laptop and mobile devices is key to our teams success. Nextcloud allows us to arrange the data in a way that fits our needs, not how the app wants it.
Flexibility - Within hours of a users request, we can have a new "feature" implemented. As a simple example, one of our consultants suggested having field data (draft source, notes, pseudo code, proposed architectural designs, etc) available as they are generated in the field. With just a simple directory structure and defining the parent app, we now have real-time data from draft designs that allows early collaboration.

Vorteile: Free, open source, versatile.
After years of paying for data sharing and collaboration tools, Nextcloud provides these (and more) features while allowing our company to "own" the files. The data never leaves our private network, which these days is more important than ever.
For less than the cost of a one month subscription to our old plan, our company purchased all the hardware needed to stand-up a Nextcloud Server that we control. Sure, there are some small monthly costs associated with maintaining the server, archiving backups, and performing updates, but it's small in comparison to the security and reliability of keeping our data on site.

Nachteile: Although there's considerable documentation, we experienced a few quirks during installation and deployment. Some are likely a result of our specific system configuration, but overall these were small and with a little internet searching, were quickly resolved
