I’m thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud.

Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

How does it compare to ownCloud?

Any hosts I should look at or avoid?

Any apps I should get for it, or avoid?

Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?

    @ajsadauskas @asklemmy I’ve been self-hosting and also use my instance for my private IT business. From what I can tell it’s built on owncloud and the the server commands use the occ command that references that codebase.
    Key apps to check out:
    - Memories (for photos)
    - Deck (for Kanban productivity boards)
    - Mastodon Integration
    - Polls (Doodle Alternative)
    - Forms
    -Appointments
    - Talk (May need a high-end signaling server but can replace Google Meetup/Teams/Zoom/Slack)
