I've been running first Owncloud, then Nextloud since it became a thing. It mostly works as it should, file synchronisation from mobile devices to user accounts works as intended and since the Vue rewrite of the Files app the file-related UI is adequate, i.e. about as good as you can expect a web app to be. I use various other apps - News, Talk, Maps, Podcast sync, Memories, Notes - which also mostly work just fine. All in all Nextcloud is a good all-round platform which performs it tasks good enough while being easy to manage. There are better file sync apps, better RSS apps, better photo management apps, better communication apps, better mail apps... but hosting all those is a lot of work compared to hosting just Nextcloud with a bunch of apps.
