If so, how was the overall experience? Looks like a much better alternative than completely relying on Google Drive and you can’t beat the price (free!)

    I ran Nextcloud at home briefly, for maybe two weeks. Setting it up was fairly easy, but it was rather slow. Slow enough that I couldn’t get anyone else in the house to use it for longer than ten minutes. Eventually ripped it down.

      This was kind of my experience too. I didn’t really use it for too much and everything about it was slow and felt icky, so I just haven’t bothered with it since. I think the only thing I really used it for was Nextcloud News for RSS, but I’ve since switched to FreshRSS, which I’m happier with. Actually, that’s not true… I used the WebDAV stuff to sync papers with iOS from git annex for annotation, and I kind of miss that, but not enough to set everything up again. It just felt heavy.
