I think you're looking for https://spliit.app/
I don't think that's end to end encrypted. With so much surveillance I think there's a real need for E2E on anything. I just bought the basic Tutanota package - but maybe that's just my OCD acting out. EDIT: This is closer, and you can self-host https://github.com/cryptoboid/splitio But it's in JavaScript can't win them all.
If you want to increase adoption, change the name: https://www.paulgraham.com/name.html TDrive would work

> nextCloud and friends is a complete disaster in my oppinion. Why is that? Have been using NextCloud in our company and for myself, and I couldn't be happier, no issues since 3 years, all the tools and plugins I need, sync running perfect and hassle-free and performant. I thought it's generally liked up until now - I didn't try any of the alternatives though, so they might indeed be better. Though I don't have any r…
Using Nextcloud on the web feels like a state of the art 2015 PHP web UI. It is... fine. But compare it to immich for example and they're just not playing in the same league imo

I mean, this doesn't make sense at all, tbf. They're literally not in the same league, as their targeting different use cases. Nextcloud offers a MUCH broader experience, while Immich has a very clear cut focus and does nothing outside of that. Comparing it doesn't make any sense. Except if you're actually talking about the UI exclusively. Then, yes, Immich feels much more modern and smooth.

That looks great, thanks for sharing. I would add to that list something like a splitwise alternative. And open source too? Seems too good to be true.
Seafile is the only good enough thing i've found so far for self-hosted file sync. But it is still a pain to upgrade the server version. nextCloud and friends is a complete disaster in my oppinion.
The ability to just run it in a snap has really contributed to this imho, Nextcloud is enterprise software you just happen to be able to run in your homelab.
I've definitely been more motivated to de-cloud as the tech bros capitulate as well as push their ai way too hard

I tried to install nextcloud once, and it was an exercise in misery.
sudo snap install nextcloud That’s all! Auto updates and I can bet it will not break.
Anyone who wants to seriously use Nextcloud should look into the AIO docker containers or rolling the individual containers themselves. Nextcloud has expanded into a full groupware stack and it's expected you have an actual admin managing the system like with any real deployment of enterprise software

I'd like a manual "sync now" option. Sometimes I put stuff in google drive using windows explorer and it's not immediately obvious if it is syncing, why it is or isn't, or what I need to do to make it.
I've got a theory that progress bars for main functionality tasks and the associated manual triggers in modern software are out of favor, as it creates a stage for an error to be displayed and creates expectations the customer can lean on. Less detail in errors displayed to the customer removes their ability to identify a software problem as unique or shared among others. "Something went wrong!"
Why do we need another file sharing platform?
