I'd have some questions about #nextcloud. I'm running a nextcloud on my internal net (no direct internet access) and am wondering is it still the right solution to migrate onto a new hardware?

I'm asking, because I'm not feeling very comfortable with it, because I'm not really understanding it. I'm more a unix like person - keep it simple.

I'm using so far these nextcloud-like services:

• contacts and calendar integrated into linux and android clients
• lufi for filesharing
• occasionally file syncing, but I'm also using #syncthing (the nextcloud client on android sometimes does not work like I'd expect)
• am trying atm #memories which seems to have all features I'd like to have to migrate our families pictures from a synology nas

So for me it seems that it is #calendar, #contacts and maybe #memories.

If I'd break #nextcloud I'd break all of these applications. So I'm thinking if I could just use a bunch of applications like #lufi and #syncthing to migrate to instead of using the nextcloud framework.

I'd be happy about comments on this line of thought, motivations and arguments to keep using nextcloud and insight, practical experiences and reasons to migrate to other projects and drop nextcloud.

Should I

Sending and receiving large or confidential files via #email is difficult: the size often is not accepted by the recipient and confidential content might be transported unencrypted and via any number of relaying smtp servers.

I used psitransfer for #filesharing for a while, but it doesn't offer an upload protection for multiple users and it doesn't support handing out upload tickets to people that I'd like to invite to send me a file.

I'm now testing lufi on a #yunohost. #lufi offers the integration into an existing user database (like in the case of yunohost openldap) and it allows users to invite third parties to send them files using a time limited upload ticket.
