I love open source software, and in the story of NextCloud and its OwnCloud roots, I side - overall - with NextCloud. For reasons of freedom and openness and trying to make the world a better software place. But... I won't use NextCloud in the near future and the reason is that my needs aren't met by the NextCloud client. It seeks to allow me to sync my files between multiple computers. But I have - literally - hundreds of thousands of (very small, ie <100kB) files to sync. And the NextCloud client can't cope with this. It tries to catalogue everything and gets stuck, lags, and mashes up the sync. That was the case with OpenCloud's v9 client and it's true of NextCloud v11.
I love the idea of NextCloud, but it doesn't work for me.
If you're not a special case like me, try it; I think it might be worth your while, so you can escape the tyrrany of evil services like Dropbox and Google Drive, who have your number, can read your files and must give it to the NSA if asked without telling you.
Otherwise, spare a thought for the low price, reliable and EU-based seafile.de (now SyncWerk.com).
Yes, syncing hundreds of thousands of very small files is a though challenge and the current client isn't super good at it. However, we have made progress already and are working on a more complete solution - be sure to check it out again in half a year or so ;-)

The best solution for my private cloud: more configurable and stable than others.
The best for help make my docs really privates!
Great
Your data is yours. Not for Sale by and for cronies or corrupt Governments !!!
It's nicr it has Apps for all mobiles devices (Android and iOS) for backups of contacts and photos and documents, and replaces also my FTP-server. No vendor-cloud necessary anymore, my pics get sybchronised into my nextcloud automatically as soon as in a WLAN. :)
It's a versatile tool, and it runs generally well. I use it to replace FTP-services.
I like Nextcloud as it seems to work quite well. It has tons of features, looks nice, and an active community. I'm just starting out with it, but so far it seems to match up with what I want extremely well!
