I hear people say that about Nextcloud often, which is part of why I haven’t bothered setting it up yet.

Is there a technical reason why it’s slow and clunky? Any problematic choices with how it was built?

    Nextcloud is slow and clunky if you run it on a banana.

    Run it on a “normal” server and everything is smooth.

      Yeah, and don’t pretend that comparable software like Google Drive, Sharepoint or Dropbox is faster.

        Dropbox is faster.

        Dropbox is A LOT faster than NC ever was. But if you want to talk about speeds and reliability then use Synching. Add FileBrowser if you want to have a WebUI on a central “server” to access all your files and you’ll be 100x better than the garbage that NC offers.

      Sure until you try with a high end 12 core CPU on NVMe storage all kinds of caching, redis etc. and you find you it doesn’t perform particularly better.

        It runs fine in a VM with a few cores, 4gb of ram and Sata SSDs

        The entire Nextcloud folder is on a network share as well.
