  The person who set it up sure, but what if grandma Ruth is one of your users? That’s not a fun task to explain to them why and how to get that happening. They just want to go to the store click a few things and then login, and even that much is challenging for many people.

    Grandma Ruth got no business on nextcloud. It’s not software that’s aimed at grandma Ruth so she got no business using it.

      Yo I self host a Nextcloud server and I don’t know what an apk is. Please stop being a gatekeeper. Grandma Ruth deserves alternatives to big tech just like the rest of us.

      All freedom to all the people. These tools aren’t supposed to be some special privilege for 1337 hackers. They should be ubiquitous.

      What are you on about?

      Unless you’re the admin, using nextcloud involves nothing more complicated than google drive or dropbox.

      I have half a dozen “normies” on my instance as users, and they figure it out just fine.

      Various government and educational entities are using Nextcloud. I guess that severely limits who they can hire.

    And after you install your monthy server update, things break because Grandma’s client is suck in the Obama era.
