Comment on What do you use for cloud storage and why?

What files from your Mac are you trying to sync to next cloud? If you have a Truenas already, why are you hosting files from your Mac instead of mapping a share directly from your Truenas into Nextcloud and working directly off of the source instead?
As for syncing photos from my phone to Nextcloud, I've had no issues over the past 3 years hosting it myself. I had one problem with a lot of conflicts where permissions on my truenas wouldn't allow nextcloud to delete them, so I had a manual cleanup process last month but that's the only problem I've had. I just switched to Truenas a few months ago from QNAP and am still learning the caveats of their very granular permissions but everything generally works about 99% of the time.

Wouldn’t mapping it directly to truenas be somewhat slow especially if I’m always on the go? My Truenas server is at at home while I dorm on campus, so I’m not sure if it would work out well. Plus, I’ve had a lot of issues with truenas + my hardware which led to me keeping this server mostly down over the last year or so. Everything seems stable and works fairly well now, but just airing on the side of caution.
Does NC photos have tagging? Auto-tagging is why I’ve always been with Google Photos tbh, an alternative would be nice though.
That said, my mac is mostly code, some emulation related stuff (thus the 10 gb limit of tresoit being annoying for me), and some documents/notes. My media is already self-hosted on jellyfin which works great atm, but I have it on my dropbox as well right now.
