Comment on Migrate from nextcloud photo backups to immich?

has worked just as quickly as Syncthing

Ahaha you funny guy. Can you have a look at this? From what I’ve seen people either say NC works really well and very fast or that it is complete trash. I really wanted to make it work, and I regularly try the thing again to always end up with piles of javascript erros on my browser.

Did you try out Nextcloud AIO instead of setting it up manually?

I agree that NC has a lot of problems. It’s a good example of an application that tries to do everything and unsurprisingly doesn’t do many things truly well.

My main problems with Syncthing is that there’s no official iOS client and that there’s no easy selective sync (Resilio can do this) - using ignorelists gets annoying if you’ve got a large folder structure and many files/folders that you selectively need to sync.

  Yes, mostly the same.

  I believe this is a problem of scale, once you get a lot of data and a couple of users things then to go downhill from there.
  
  To make things better NC isn’t polished at all and there’s a lot of moving parts that break randomly at multiple times or at the same time.

  This is kind of the problem with Syncthing for… everyone. What I do with iOS is to avoid syncs, have a central “server” where all your Syncthing devices sync to/from and access everything on iOS through WebDAV/SFTP or FileBrowser running on that server.
