I wanted to like Nextcloud, and I made a real effort two different times (hetzner metal servers with attached storage). Both times it would eventually run into sync problems, where it would just get stuck and refuse to keep things in sync. I had the same problem with Onedrive (it was worse). Tresorit was very good and reliable and theoretically very secure, but it was some financial cost. The last thing I tried is Apple’s 2TB iCloud offering, which is cheap and thus far has not had problems keeping about 1.4TB (around a million files at peak) synced without problems. Of course you must already be living in the Apple ecosystem, but I am and it is convenient. I do trust Apple to provide reliable and durable service more than I could with my own Nextcloud setup. |

Work your computer from sleep? Server offline!
Moon in the wrong phase? Server offline!
This isn't remote. This is the client and server on the same network.
Worse, the client never seems to retry on its own, and stays offline almost indefinitely. I've ended up with multiple sync conflicts because of this.
Even worse, there's no easily accessible button that says "try now." Pausing and resuming sync doesn't work.
On Windows it's the only software I update semi-regularly that insists on rebooting the whole computer, and yes, that includes other software that integrates into File Explorer.
I've also developed a strong dislike of their weird, "pretty", application-window-in-a-drop-down-menu interface. Just have a simple interface that respects the conventions of the host OS's UI, please...
