All of your files are now in a proprietary directory unlike nextcloud, enjoy
All his files are secure and properly synced... unlike Nextcloud.
Yes but you can’t access them outside of seafile, which is a downside for me
That was one reason I procrastinated so long about moving. But I figured I’d take the plunge and see how I get on
I went NC, seafile, NC for the same reasons. NC is way too bloated but it does file sync well.
Seafile is lightning fast but I don’t feel comfortable only being able to access files through their apps.
I don't understand your message. What did you wanna say with "proprietary directly" and "unlock Nextcloud"?
I meant unlike! Thanks
👍🏼
Nextcloud was too slow and bloated for me. I used Seafile for years and it was fine, but at some point I went to some more simple setup : sftpgo to share folders (sftp, dav) and syncthing for the folders I want to sync between devices. You can also set ignore lists in syncthing to ignore large dirs. Keep it simple stupid 😅
I've been meaning to try https://github.com/kd2org/karadav out, lightweight server that supports nextcloud applications. Has anyone else tried it out?
I haven't, but it's on my list. I also want to try copyparty. Currently, I use SFTPGo, it works pretty well. They both don't support Nextcloud apps, but I use Round Sync on my phone.
hey, copyparty dev here - I'll be upfront and warn that if you're looking for a service to do full bidirectional file syncing, with proper file tracking and versioning, then something like syncthing is a better choice. Copyparty is able to do single-direction syncing of local folders to the server pretty well (using copyparty's u2c or rclone), but that's about it.
But if you're looking for something to handle file uploads faster than many alternatives, or any of the other features listed in the readme, then I'd be happy to help if you ever get stuck somewhere :>
