    I hear what you’re saying but Nextcloud is definitely not a viable option for reliable backups. Wayyyy too buggy to trust

      Certainly way too buggy if you’re selfhosting. At least that was my experience. And if you’re not, the privacy component really goes away.

        Fortunately, I don’t have the same experiences as you. I mean, sure, I’ve encountered bugs in the Android app, but I’ve never lost any files with my selfhosted Nextcloud server.

        Setting up the Nextcloud server and optimizing it was quite a big hassle for me (took an entire afternoon), but after it was all done, I was pretty happy with it.

        No, the web UI is quite slow and that probably won’t change, but the caldav server and the Windows Desktop app work perfect. The automatic upload of media on my (Android) phone has no issues at all.

        In my experience, the most issues are with the web UI due to its bad performance, but besides that, it works perfectly.

      I can not be, nextcloud was just an example. I have never had an issue with nextcloud backups
