I hear people say that about Nextcloud often, which is part of why I haven’t bothered setting it up yet.

Is there a technical reason why it’s slow and clunky? Any problematic choices with how it was built?

    I think the file server analogy isn’t really fair. Nextcloud is better compared to Microsoft 365 or Google GSuite.

    All of these offer file storage, but also much more.

      Sure. But serving files is the core functionality of Nextcloud. You can remove every other functionality. But the files app cannot be removed.

        I disagree. The extras and modularity are the core functionality. If you’re just serving files, there’s SFTP, WebDAV, etc.
