Comment on I decided that I will update the nextcloud (windows) desktop client once or twice a decade

Which I’m not sure I get the popular mentioning of since it seems to serve a very different purpose than NextCloud does, like not even similar niches.

It’s popular because differently from NC, Syncthing works.

NextCloud main use is file synchronization. If you take this away, you will almost certainly decide to use some different software for the other features, because NC does them badly.

  NextCloud main use is file synchronization Is it? Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever even considered using it for that purpose.
  
  I mostly use it as an easily web-accessible interface for a variety of unified productivity and organization software (file upload/download, office suite, notes, calendar, etc), with easy ability to do stuff like create a password-protected shared folders of pictures/documents I can easily share with friends and family who don’t have accounts so they can upload/download/organize/edit files with me and each other from a browser without having to install additional software on client devices.
