    Comments about Nextcloud as an Alternative to ownCloud
     
       
    Comment summary: Nextcloud is widely regarded as a superior alternative to ownCloud, praised for its ease of installation, extensive features, and strong community support. It's a fully open-source fork initiated by the original ownCloud developers, gaining significant improvements over the original, including better security features and an active app ecosystem. Despite offering almost all features of ownCloud, some users noted that its server doesn't support Windows.

    It’s a community-fork of ownCloud with all components being open source. :)

    OwnCloud is groupware. Seafile is a file-sync storage solution. Just because they have overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable.

    It is similar to ownCloud in that it's self-hosted. Does not have apps such as Calendar, and is not compatible with the Federated Cloud sharing (ownCloud+Nextcloud+Pydio)

    Although tailored for families, it offers many of the same features as a typical groupware solution like OwnCloud -- calendaring, group messaging, sharing of files & content, etc.
