    The best thing about nextcloud is its apps/plugin ecosystem. It’s basically a hub for self-hosted apps. Want self-hosted Google docs alternative with collaborative document editing feature? You can do it with nextcloud. Want self-hosted Google meet too? You bet it, you can. Want to add email client to next could? You can. Want to setup SSO for your other apps? Nextcloud can be setup as an OIDC provider. Want to setup a complex rule-bases file access control for your small business? Nextcloud can absolutely do it.

    If you just want remote file storage system, there are many lightweight alternatives though.

      Mostly just to sync a password database from phone and computer, and caldav, carddav, and notes sync, joplin. Didn’t realize nc was so bloated.

        Fwiw those features are implemented as “apps” and you can disable them all, even the default ones, leaving you with a basic cloud sync feature. Still not as lightweight as some other competitors though.
