I'm using NextCloud on a DigitalOcean VPS (the files themselves are on a separate volume so the VPS drive can remain small), and it's been really solid. I think the web UI for NextCloud is great, and while the clients for iOS and macOS are not best-in-class compared to, say, Dropbox, they definitely work and get the job done. I love the fact that, at the end of the day, I have a file on a Linux server somewhere that is THE cloud file. It's my data, under my control, and that I'm able to troubleshoot myself. (Compare with a major glitch I had with iCloud Drive on my Mac that Apple never could get fixed for me. I literally to this day have a broken iCloud Drive connection on my MacBook Pro.)
