Comment on Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud
ikidd@lemmy.world 6 days agoThey don’t obfuscate the filesystem, it’s right there in clear folder trees under each username in the chosen data folder with all the filenames you see in the UI, you can do whatever you want with it.
I hear this bullshit constantly and I go back to check just to make sure I’m not fooling myself and there it is. Where do people get this from, do you not know how to navigate a filesystem?

It’s been a long while since I used it and at one point I did figure out how to browse it, but I remember documentation pointing out that it’s meant to be left alone and do all your file management through NextCloud itself.
Sometimes I needed to do big file operations or drop in a chunk of data straight from the server, but it wouldn’t ingest those files unless I did a sync or upload them using the client.
Maybe things have changed, but last I used it, it was 14 services that were all sort of good when I needed the service to do one thing really well.
