The narratives you mention in your last para are completely true, that’s what annoys me, IF they had engaged in good faith with users. As it is, it’s like a shopping centre that’s been free to enter saying “right, it’s now €100 to enter and any underwear shops are closed to you unless you wear our uniform.”

Just completely crazy prices for a poor service. No shit that’s unworkable. Just be honest and say you want to bring those users in-house, just fucking say that rather than trying to gaslight everyone into believing that all these competent developers are all unreasonable arseholes who are screwing you, a multi-billion-dollar corporation over.

Cool, always good to see new options, I hadn’t come across this one before.

Cheers, that’s reassuring

Thank you

That’s helpful, he wouldn’t have admin access, mostly because I know enough to know that what I don’t know is dangerous.

Thanks to you both, I think I read at some point that nextcloud might be a bit overpowered and resource heavy (for me). I’ll look into syncthing.

Could you DM me the Homepage link? I’m not finding it among generic results. Yes, I’m a wee bit dim.
