But compared to Google and not owning your data? It's SO much better, not that it's really a fair comparison.
Sorry your experience has been so bad. I'm using the LinuxServer.io version. I've had to run some OCC commands when upgrading and it's sometimes slow, but for me it syncs my files and does version control + sharing well.
I've never used it but it always seems to me like they're trying to be an everything app.
That's kinda their schtick though. They've been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.
You can either be good at a few things or mediocre at a lot of things. For convenience I'm sure it's great, but I wonder about the quality and sustainability of it all.
