Great paper! I’m glad I avoided OwnCloud after discovering how much of a hot PHP mess it is (and that it was about 10x slower for LAN sync than Seafile on a same machine). I would love to have all the file sync solutions tested with this suite. |

They're slow because they're poorly written. The mobile apps or the js webui are no different. It's jank from top to bottom. I try it once a year, because I want this product so bad. But I keep getting hurt by the speed, by the bugs, by the stability. I've even tried a hosted instance, just in case my hubris prevented me from seeing blatant issue in my server setup. But alas...
Yet they have a large userbase. So I'm forced to come to the conclusion that I must be doing something wrong... The speed issues are usually acknowledged by fellow nextcloud users but the bugs are brushed away, so my conclusion is that I must be having an unusual workflow that hits all the corner cases at once.
BTW ownCloud pivoted to Go almost 5 years ago, they call it ownCloud Infinite Scale.
