There are some things I *love* about NextCloud. It's the only FOSS software that creates an accessible, central space on the Internet for individuals.
It also has some HUGE FLAWS. It's cumbersome to install and maintain, half its plugins are out of date or under-supported, its code is clunky and inefficient, and the most reliable hosting providers (managed) are either expensive or located on completely non-English websites.
I see it compared a lot to simple storage software, but I see it as something more akin to the Solid Pods (https://solidproject.org/). Something like this could be the home for every single person on the Internet if done correctly. NC isn't doing it correctly, but it is shedding light on the possibility that it could be done at all, without reinventing all the wheels.

@indubitablyodin No offense but for some of the same reasons and native simplicity speed, #FTP.
I'll say that and perhaps the rest just needs a bit of human or minimal tech work-around.
Enough bloat already.
If #Debian have used it all these years then so can most of y'all !
