How nice of Google to highlight another Drive/One competitor to me.

Any reviews/feedback from current Nextcloud users? I do plan to eventually self host but would start off using storage included in the plan

Edit: many thanks for all the responses! I think I'll stick with my current Drive alternative for now (Mega) but will start reading up on the technical docs/requirements for Nextcloud, as I do want to self serve in the long run

Sure, I've been self-hosting Nextcloud for years. I run it as a docker within unRAID NAS. I use it as a "dropbox" replacement for our family to share files. I also use it to move photos off my phone using the auto-upload feature.

Ironically, just yesterday I uninstalled the play version and installed the f-droid version to get the article's stated feature back.
