I’ve used Nextcloud for a long while but only for cloud storage and photo backup from my phone. I’ve moved the latter to Immich and just replaced the cloud storage with Seafile.
So far everything is hunky dory but I was wondering if anyone who’s run Seafile for longer has any insights for things to watch out for with it. I’m following the documentation backup solution and I’m the only user (so the whole db/file de sync during backup isn’t an issue)
All of your files are now in a proprietary directory unlike nextcloud, enjoy
All his files are secure and properly synced… unlike Nextcloud.
Yes but you can’t access them outside of seafile, which is a downside for me
Seafile is compatible with webdav and fuse. Fuse allows to mount folders as drives, webdav is a webaccess protocol which can also be mounted as drive I believe.
Only restriction I know : fuse cannot mount encrypted folders.
I mean they’re synced super fast to every file system. It works really well. Wayyy wayyy faster than nextcloud too. You can access them on that file system. If you want to “directly” access them you can always use the fuse driver. This being said there isn’t really a need to because all the files just are synced to your file system.

That was one reason I procrastinated so long about moving. But I figured I’d take the plunge and see how I get on
I went NC, seafile, NC for the same reasons. NC is way too bloated but it does file sync well.
Seafile is lightning fast but I don’t feel comfortable only being able to access files through their apps.
I don’t understand your message. What did you wanna say with “proprietary directly” and “unlock Nextcloud”?
I meant unlike! Thanks
