Once I got comfortable with immich, I realized photos was my main use of nextcloud and immich was so much better. I replaced the rest of nextcloud's functionality with syncthing+filebrowser quantum. Haven't looked back since. Now I don't have to worry about a nextcloud update randomly causing havoc (user error likely).
Ah, have you just solved one of the main limits i have for syncthing. I didnt know about this filebrowser quantum thing. My use case is that i have a keepass file i manage with my wife between devices and on the same laptop (two different debian logins). But really, but is the purpose of this tool? To replace your local kde dolphine for example? Trying to understand the usecase.
Mainly to browse remote files from my phone, allows me to access my documents from any device.
In my case it was Syncthing and Radicale that replaced basically all my Nextcloud use.
Nextcloud isn't bad actually but you really need to use a lot of the million optional features to justify that behemoth.
Truely agree. I also did the nextcloud to syncthing+radical leap but still trying to effectively resolve proper file shating.
