Comment on Looking for personal cloud storage alternatives

Seafile is great…with caveats that seem to bother people away from it:
-
Files are stored as git-like chunks on the server
-
Features behind a paywall for more than 3 users (Pro vs Comminity versions)
-
Documentation can be very confusing at times
Item 1 can be mitigated by utilizing tools like Rclone to mount the files on the server, reassembling the chunks, then back up and unmount when done. Item 2 isn’t a deal breaker for me.
It is super fast and reliable in my experience. I specify wanted the selective sync because my stupid MacBook has a tiny SSD, but I still wanted access to files from other device libraries.
