What's wrong with Nextcloud, and why is it slow/clunky? - eviltoast

I hear people say that about Nextcloud often, which is part of why I haven’t bothered setting it up yet.

Is there a technical reason why it’s slow and clunky? Any problematic choices with how it was built?

    Because that is not its intended function. If you want that just use Easy Sync with Nextcloud or another WebDAV server.

          Settings -> auto upload. Set your options and folder mapping to the cloud. If you want it to work all the time turn off battery optimization of the next cloud app. It’s been working for myself and my wife since at least 2018.

            Does it auto download then too? I swear I looked all through that app. Couldn’t get KeePass or obsidian to sync automatically

              I used to do keepass through it. So yes. But I haven’t done that in a hot minute. I do still have a master sync folder for some stuff… but I have tried to open any of those items on my phone in a long time.

              Last I checked it worked. I haven’t needed that in a long time though so that might have changed. But it’s not that hard to just grab the file in the nextcloud app too.

                I like to update both and keep it all synced. What do you use now? I’m probably going to do syncthing
