  • I am currently running nextcloud for myself. I think about migrating to opencloud, or something lighter like sftpgo to only have file and online file editor, and using a dedicated app for photo backups. Also, the UI is quite heavy on nextcloud, and opencloud’s UI seems lighter and faster.

    If nextcloud works for you, keep on :)

  • For people wondering about the source of the project:

    • at first there was Ownlcoud
    • when the business model proved conflictuous with community management, Nextcloud was born
    • when PHP proved not good enough, Owncloud Infinite Scale was born
    • when some dev were not happy with kiteworks, current owner of the dev company, the left to create Opencloud based on Owncloud Infinite Scale

    Kiteworks threatened them about illegal worker theft, they were not happy a lot of dev left for the fork, and as an american company, they don’t know worker right.
