I decided to try Nextcloud after not using it for 10 years, and after testing it a bit I find myself turned off by the email (and other profile options) being visible to "everyone" by default.
I found how to disable the profile by default : email still visible Hide the email in profile settings of user manualy : still visible completely remove email : no notifications
In addition to that, from what I understand, even if I change the default setting to private the other profile options, they are automatically shared with anyone you connect to the Talk app?? I was really hoping to try it out, but that's another turnoff.
It does not seem to be a problem to most users so they have not done anything since 2019 about it (from the github issues and forum threads I found). It is an instant turnoff to me, I am questionning using it only for myself and use something else to share with family.... if you have a solution for the user info privacy, I am all ears.
I just want a multiuser file sharing app that works with authentik and works with android/windows/linux. Bonus points if it does not encrypt files on the server.
Edit to add : I tried seafile and it kept going down and corrupted a lot of files after an unexpected server shutdown. It shared the corruption to all the local files on every app/pc I had it shared to. Never figured out a way to restore the healthy files from a backup (that's a me problem but still not a fun experience). Thankfully I was the only user, I try to test out the apps a few months/year before sharing.
TLDR : what alternatives do you have to nextcloud or seafile ?
sadly too complicated for some of my users. just going on a website to enter their info is a chore.
