I just turned off 2 of my NextCloud instances.
At first, NextCloud looks pretty and functional but that is only for the core feature that is file sharing and even with that, the UI isn't too polished. (Uploading indicator is quite useless and emptying trash never empties etc.)
As soon as you touch any of the extensions, things are worse. Talk plugin simply never worked, email plugin was uselessly incomplete (Rainloop plugin works well except can't get the auto login feature to work), and other plugins were like hacked over the weekend by young devs with poor performance and UI.
I liked that NextCloud offered CalDAV and CardDAV painlessly but NextCloud as a whole is so slow that I started using Radicale for CalDAV and CardDAV and kept a single instance of NextCloud purely for file sharing which is still better than other self hosted solutions.
They advertise their product well but their tech team isn't catching up with it.

Just installed these Docker images (Nextcloud and Collabora) on my private k8s cluster. Fantastic setup and I have docs and collaboration everywhere (iOS, WebDAV, Linux, Windows) and itβs out of the hands of Google. I like the integrations that some OSs do (Ubuntu). This is just one of the open source projects that are genuinely better than some closed/paid solutions (IBM Notes anyone)?
