Everyone nowadays seems to use #nextcloud. What happened to #owncloud that started it all? Well, according to ownCloud - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OwnCloud #cern uses it to handle 12 #petabytes of data. Pretty impressive I would say. And they rewrote everything in #golang

owncloud put their focus on file storage only. #Nextcloud offers a wide variety of apps and file storage is mandatory but there is so much more.

#nextcloud #carddav and #caldav services are precious. I can't live without them! 😀
One important step toward independence from #gafam tentacular dominance

A lot of companies (and Public Administrations) still use it because the enterprise tech support.

Paolo, we @ownclouders are supporting our customers with enterprise services and are very active to evolve our new open source platform #InfiniteScale, the golang rewrite that you mentioned. It aims for scalability, stability and simplicity. Please check out https://owncloud.dev/ocis/ and download today :-)

@dragotin
Thank you. My needs are far less than enterprise, more small business or familiar. I also use mostly the #carddav and #caldav functionalities.
I will reevaluate #owncloud as I'm pretty sure that the performance of a #golang implementation is at least an order of magnitude better than #nextcloud #php.
