Likewise! Been running the snap version on a $5 DO droplet for half a year now and there's been nothing making me want to go back.

Sure the UX can be improved a bit, but it's been rock solid so far and gets the job done.

Nextcloud designer here, thanks for the kind words! What’s something UX-wise that you’d like to see us focus on, or where you have suggestions?

Check out the storage servers at time4vps. I have 1TB for about $15/quarter.

That’s about the same as Dropbox — do they offer versioning and minimum retention periods?

[j1elo]

It's literally half than Dropbox, which costs €10 per month (so €30 per quarter) in its Plus variant. And that's if you pay per year; monthly payment costs €12 per month.

Half as much for half as much storage unless there’s some pricing page adjustments going on.

It's an OpenVZ virtualized VM. I can run whatever I want on it. I personally do my versioning on my master backup, which has btrfs. Then I ship a copy to the cloud, which is my machine at time4vps.

Yes, my point being that you are comparing a fully-managed service to something which requires you to perform regular operational work. Since the price is the same, that seems like you're effectively valuing your time as free while getting less protection.

I get more. I run services out of the server, like Calibre and pihole.
