> I use Seafile, I recommend

I recently tried it, as I don’t need 90% of the features NextCloud offers anyway. Sadly, the installation process seems far more complicated, and I ended up just abandoning it and going back to NC after getting unclear error messages.

I see; I use hosted version (some here https://www.seafile.com/en/partner/ -- they should advertise it better imo). Had no problems from the beginning (there are clients for Linux/Win/etc. as well).

I like the idea of self-hosting a lot, but I also think it's fine to have hosted services of OSS (I think you need to be technically oriented to make it work easily and reliably, which isn't everyone).
