I recently noticed that my nextcloud instance was missing photos. I have the android app set to automatically upload my photos. When I need to clear up space on my phone, I make a separate backup (because I’m a paranoid SOB and hard drives are relatively cheap). I noticed that nextcloud auto upload missed about 10% of the photos. I’m not going to bash the nextcloud devs, as I recognize that I am using a free product and am owed nothing, but I’m making this post so others are aware of this risk. Apparently I’m not alone https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-client-does-not-auto-upload-all-images/216849/14
I’ve been using Syncthing for years and it’s been almost flawless with only rare file sync errors that are clearly shown in the UI. Was going to switch to Nextcloud for everything. Looks like I’ll be sticking with Syncthing for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for posting this.
I came from Nextcloud to syncthing, you’re in the right place.
