I'm thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud.

Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

How does it compare to ownCloud?

Any hosts I should look at or avoid?

Any apps I should get for it, or avoid?

Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?

2 weeks ago, I suscribed to a pre-installed Nextcloud service. IT IS SO WORTH IT!!! It's much more that what I was expeting. Data storgage of course, but tons of super usefull apps. Deck to replace Trello, News for rss feeds, Only Office for an online suite, Memories for picture, a very usefull media player, and much more. In the age of AI, I'm never again storing anything on Google or MS storage. We nees to take the internet back, fuck the GAFAM.

@Yerbouti @ajsadauskas thanks for sharing. I've been using Synology's things because I have their NAS and it comes with it. But I haven't been too happy with their docs though their drive feature is great. Maybe next cloud might completely fill the void.
