- Comment on Trying to get advice for photo/files storing/syncing 3 months ago:
Maybe I have just had back luck but syncing my files across all of my devices has always burned me at some point. No matter what software I have used I have overwritten something by accident or I try and delete something and it doesnt get deleted on all device. Or get a bunch of conflicting files and now i need to figure out what file I want etc…
I do use some syncing but it is mostly between only two devices. Often times it is only a 1 way sync. For example photos on my phone get synced to my NAS automatically.
For me keeping all of my files in one place is the way to go. I just have everything on a NAS. (TrueNAS) All of my devices connect to that and i just edit them directly over the network.
I have a VPN for remote access.

Public services require a little more work, you will need to rely on a service from a company, either a tunnel (e.g. Tailscale funnel) or a VPS.
I have been hosting random public seerver for years publicly

Yes but it has limitations/risks that could be a deal killer depending on your use case.
When a file changes externally, Nextcloud doesn’t know about the the changes until it looks at the file. It only looks when a user access that location within Nextcloud or during a automatic file scan.
The only time I have had issues with it is using a Nextcloud desktop client and, as files are cached locally on the desktop and the client doesn’t live query the server when you view the files locally.
Changes made externally of Nextcloud won’t get updated on desktop clients until Nextcloud looks at the file an realizes a change happened.
This can be very annoying but also dangerous as you are at risk of editing an outdated file. For example if you edit a file via SMB and then edit the same file again on a desktop clients. The desktop clients won’t have the new file with the B changes. So you risk overwriteing the files with an old version.

You can add in local directory paths or file shares within your Nextcloud home directory.
