    It seems that while this update once again contains lots of (unncessary) AI bullshit, it also has some other positive changes, such as :

    • More End-To-End encrypted functionality
    • Improved file upload (apparently 6x as fast)
    • Better performance
    • Converting documents
    • Native desktop client UI (hopefully the new appImage does work for Linux, because it does not work right now.
    • Improved AppAPI for other developers to develop plugins / apps / extensions in different programming languages
    • Added pronouns to account profile
    • Right-To-Left text for the Arabic users (and whoever uses RTL instead of LTR)
    • PGP/MIME support for Nextcloud Mail
    • Chunked file upload on desktop app
    • Improved OpenID Connect API

    Overall, I am still disappointed by the direction towards AI that Nextcloud has taken, but I suspect that it makes them more money. Also, apparently large organizations / enterprises who pay Nextcloud GmbH for support, are also allowed to influence the roadmap of the software, which probably has something to do with jumping on the AI bandwagon.

    However, despite this new direction, Nextcloud still does the job for me: Easy file syncing, with document collaboration, calendar, contacts and basically act as a whole replacement for Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace / whatever with little to no problems.

      I’ve been using NC since single digit version numbers

      The performance increase on v30 is VERY noticeable, especially loading photos.

        it’s come a long way in the last few majors. I’ve been using it since v7 and it’s been a struggle at times with users complaining about how glacial it could get. These days it’s pretty blazingly fast comparatively, I get no complaints.

      damn, RTL text is no trivial matter, kudos to them for getting that done

    More feature creep and things to break it?

      Everyone knows you don’t upgrade to a X.0 release. Got to wait for X.1 at least.

    Does anyone have current recommendations for an alternative to nextcloud?

    I use it only for the below:

    • synchronize some files/folders between some of my devices
    • share files/folders with friends who don’t have an account; either with no password/account, or a password set at time of sharing
      • temporary/timed sharing so it is eventually no longer shared is nice, but not required
    • use its webui like dropbox to upload files to my server from random machines (or download them)

    And for that, nextcloud seems to be overkill.

      Sounds like Syncthing for syncing and something like…is it… croc or Wormhole…? To drop files and send things.

      Maybe I’m misunderstanding haha.

      I’m checking out seafile. I think it does those things, but I’m not sure.

      File browser is easy for all of those minus syncing. You might also do rsync. Easiest solution!

        Thanks, I’ll take a look. Syncing is nice, but I’ll see how it fits!

    Few plugins are broken due to api changes. Drawio is biggest issue for me.

      Yeah, I’m also waiting for a couple of “apps” to have NC 31 compatibility.
