I’ve enough.

Last year the automatic updater was rebooting windows without any warning after the uac prompt. The problem continued for months before being fixed

This year I got an update a week. Very annoying to get the same “why u no reboot? I need updates” question every single time I turn on my PC.

Today when updating it kills explorer.exe without any confirmation and doesn’t bring it back to life.

I don’t think that their paid enterprise customers are doing the beta alpha testers like this. Is it really necessary to push nightlies to end users? It can’t be tested casually for a couple of days then pushed?

I disabled the updates check and will update the nextcloud desktop client manually every 5 years if I can remember. Added an exception to Winget so it doesn’t update it. I lost my patience.

      Which I’m not sure I get the popular mentioning of since it seems to serve a very different purpose than NextCloud does, like not even similar niches.

      Nothing against it, of course, it just doesn’t feel like an ‘alternative’ to NC.

        It’s popular because differently from NC, Syncthing works.

        NextCloud main use is file synchronization. If you take this away, you will almost certainly decide to use some different software for the other features, because NC does them badly.

          Is it? Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever even considered using it for that purpose.

          I mostly use it as an easily web-accessible interface for a variety of unified productivity and organization software (file upload/download, office suite, notes, calendar, etc), with easy ability to do stuff like create a password-protected shared folders of pictures/documents I can easily share with friends and family who don’t have accounts so they can upload/download/organize/edit files with me and each other from a browser without having to install additional software on client devices.

      Finally someone did a windows installer that can add it as a service.

      It was super annoying to do it manually on windows, to have it reliably start before login
