Nextcloud

I had to uninstall it, because it had recently started to kill my battery with high CPU usage when it wasn't supposed to do anything (no new file to send, and no wifi to send with). My phone was hot to the touch all the time because of it. When it works, it's nice. But it can be a pain to sync a lot of existing files, slow to start (hours), then annoying if the same files exist on both sides, since it doesn't checksum to avoid retransmitting one way or another.

You should just drop everything else and focus on auto upload feature. It's the basic feature on mobile. I use Nextcloud for good few years, every single mobile phone I used the app on had sync issues, sometimes it uploads new files (photos, videos, anything) right away but most of the time it just doing nothing, sometimes doesn't sync for weeks at all and they suddenly, out of the blue just uploads something. Really annoying as soon as I find good alternative I'm moving from Nextcloud.

The last few versions have been increasingly bad. Auto upload creates a spurious "(invalid)" folder in internal storage. Thumbnails don't load properly. The redesigned media section hangs the app and then crashes. 3.17.1 appears to be the last version of the app that, for all its faults, is at least usable.

Why is a separate app needed to do something simple as DAV? If it's a resource restriction on your end, then maybe it's a good idea to create a crowdfunding campaign. Because now the experience feels half finished and using a 3rd party app for syncing my private cloud also raises some concerns. Edit: My complaint is that a 3rd party app is needed for DAV (to sync calendar and contacts, the file sync is not the issue). Hence the half finished experience.

I really like Nextcloud and that it's open source and understand that it's entirely free and kept up by volunteers. But still I have to say the app performs just terribly. It often crashes, is unresponsive and slow

Autoupload gets conflicts out of nowhere and works extremely slow. Reinstalled everything and started with fresh account, now it uploads nothing at all. I have selected a folder with just a few items (supposed to index it fast), but nothing happens for an hour. Power saving is disabled for the app. Sorry guys, this is completely unusable.

So so slow when tryiyg to view photos, Android keeps reporting the app as not responding, eventually it will load a photo. Such a basic feature not working is very concerning.

A great alternative to a number of the more mainstream cloud providers. The only thing that really leaves me wanting is that the app just gives up if there is any network instability during transfers.

Was billed as a dyslexia friendly app. Took twenty minutes to create one document and then I couldnt edit it. There's no dyslexic font in the menus or help pages either. Not accessible at all. A total waste of time.

So far, it works excellent. I automatically backup all my photos and documents to my personal server and changes are synchronized fast between my gadgets. Lots of room for improvement, but I'm happy with it so far

Is great to have an app to use nextcloud on my phone, but there are some things that are missing, like sharing multiple files, options to choose if files are accessible to other apps, etc. Recently the app is using a ton of battery. Please fix it.

With Nextcloud 23, app does sync, but for every file reports an error syncing occured. Maga annoying. Main purpose for switching to Nextcloud is to dump Google for backing up files on the phone. Can't ask the family to use this until this issue is fixed.

It's good all features considered. One thing that I wish I could change is the vibration notifications each time I change into a folder or setting. It drives me up a wall. I can't find a way to disable this.

This works just fine if you don't have many files. When you start to use your cloud a bit more, it becomes unusable, or just terribly slow if you're lucky. The iOS version is simply much better. It's also very bad that one cannot choose a custom folder for the Media section (like on iOS). Now it mixes all together, so again: unusable.

Poor experience: - when playing a video, if I happen to let the screen turn off, the sound will play but the video will restart after turning the screen on. Need to kill the app to fix this. - can't enable auto upload because it won't let me select the folder to upload from, the choose button can't be clicked. - synced some files offline and when I was away from the server, couldn't see any files in the 'on device' area.

Nextcloud app crashes constantly whenever a large folder is selected for upload. I selected a whatsapp folder and it had 11gigs in it, app crashed instantly. There is little point to the app if it does that. The app in general other than large data upload crashing, is relatively decent and I like it. Unsure if there is a setting that can be changed to allow large data uploads from the app or not. Large file uploads for mobile is important for me.

Sadly, it's still to unstable :( Every now and then some critical bug pops up and ruins your files. I still remember that fiasco with server-side encryption, now auto-upload feature uploaded my photos into a void. Not on a server and no longer on device. I like that there is an open source solution like Nextcloud, but sadly it's hard to trust it with your data :(

Used own cloud for years considering switching but the autoupload keeps trying to upload the exact same files. I have even configured it to "skip" but it keeps trying anyways this means it kills my battery. It's like it's not actually looking for changes either side, cloud or local. Keeps saying file upload conflict even though I have set skip. But why is it trying to upload what it's already uploaded...

I use it only for the Camera Upload feature and it just broke. It stopped uploading so I deleted cache & data and now the upload never finishes. After a few hundred files it simply starts over like in an eternal Groundhog Day.

The app keeps popping up saying that it has stopped responding and asking me to force quit the app. It appears to have started on last update.

Uploading from the app is 10 times slower then the mobile browser, in the app I'm able. To max out 5MB, from the browser I'm able to max out 50MB in the local network.

I set up a nextcloud instance primarily for the calendar / scheduling features. I downloaded and signed in just to discover that for some reason, you can not use the calendar in the app! You need to use 2 other 3rd party apps to sync the calendar and another app to use as a calendar (which completely defeats the purpose). I love this platform, but this is a gross oversite in my opinion and I hope it is added soon.

problems with keepassxc, signal backup. all apps claim that nextcloud does not allow them to write. selecting directory makes apps work again but only once.

Slow and constantly crashes. I just use my web browser to connect to my nc instance. App is basically unusable.

Client won't upload photos, sync is all over the place, tried everything, Googled all over and seems like I'm not the only one, is android really that much harder? Your windows desktop client is perfect.

When will the app be capable of sorting media based on the taking date rather than uploading date? This two dates are completely different and not necessarily have to mean the same.
