I don’t see how backups are easier - Nextcloud AIO has borg backup built in as well.

Haven’t had to think about updates, they just happen.

And I haven’t seen a single advert, not sure what that’s about either.

But I had some problems with the windows client updates. That was a couple years back. Crashed explorer on update. Back then a restart was necessary to update anyway.

What maintenance is there, really? Nextcloud AIO is great

I have had zero issues for two years now using Nextcloud AIO. Use is heavy with multiple users. Planning to set up a personal one next.

Interested in hearing about the problems you’re having
