Comment on What's wrong with Nextcloud, and why is it slow/clunky?

  I’d argue that the primary function of Nextcloud is to serve files. Of course the other services lack other stuff, which is why I’m still using Nextcloud. But I still wish its performance was similar to pure file servers.

    I think the file server analogy isn’t really fair. Nextcloud is better compared to Microsoft 365 or Google GSuite.

    All of these offer file storage, but also much more.

      Sure. But serving files is the core functionality of Nextcloud. You can remove every other functionality. But the files app cannot be removed.

        I agree. They’re suffering from feature creep I fear

        I disagree. The extras and modularity are the core functionality. If you’re just serving files, there’s SFTP, WebDAV, etc.
