Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?

AIO

Yeah, that one is basically a take-it-or-leave-it approach. It’s a lot easier to customize when running your own Docker stack. It grew over the years and the team tries to sell it as an all-in-one SharePoint replacement (which it can be), but that also means it turned into an even more convoluted system.

I was looking into alternatives earlier this year, maybe one of them could be a solution for you:

Owncloud infinite scale
opencloud.eu (fork of ocis)
syncthing (very good, depending on what exactly you’re looking for)
Pydio Cells

There are others, or servers like WebDAV itself.

Some notes:

syncthing - a little complex, and the file format isn’t flat files, but they have a FUSE driver you can use if you want “flat” files; it’s wicked fast at syncing data

OCIS/OpenCloud - default file format isn’t flat, but there is an experimental POSIX driver to get that flat file layout, in case you prefer that for backups

Pydio - don’t know much about it, but it seems designed for large, clustered deployments

I’m playing with OCIS/OpenCloud and it seems like a good fit. I’m mostly holding off until I can figure out which to use (leaning toward OpenCloud).
