- Cons (issues) of OwnCloud / Nextcloud: uploading big files in one time using HTTP is not a good choice; each WebDAV connection per file which is a bad practice for small files (10GB files requies 10 hours); 255 bytes per filename due to Linux (usually enought, better than Win).
- Pros of owncloud/nextcloud: it stores files in files.
- Cons (issues) of Seafile: stores in its own format, canNOT access files directly in OS.
- Pros of Seafile: fast; pro. version is free for 3 users including full-text document search (elasticsearch-based).
- OwnCloud supports diff sync, which is still not in nextcloud.
