Norwegian Dropbox rival Jottacloud is finally working on a desktop app for Linux. Jottacloud, run by Jotta Group AS, has been around since 2008, offering
My 1Tb nextcloud instance cost around 10CAD per month and I get office suite and much more. I don’t understand why people and organisation don’t use it more. It’s gsuite or ms365 on a private server.
the problem with orgs is that is not tied to a few users.
you need something scalable, higly reilable and with high availability.
that costs more than a single instance (load balancer + mettered traffic + separated database + N number of deployments + s3 storage), plus you need to pay for the sysadmin/devops engineer who will deploy and maintain that.
having that reduced for a single package in which you just pay per user… that reduces a lot.
for small orgs or entities, what you propose makes sense, and their IT person could handle it. but not when you start having more than 10 concurrent users and their issues…
(they could use nextcloud from entities who resell the service, this is something that would work as a replacement to o365 and goolag workspaces)

NextCloud is open source and self-hostable? Why not just cut out the middle man, pay for a cheap desktop computer, turn it into a server and host it yourself?

I personally didn’t like NextCloud, I felt like for the tools they offered there were better alternatives out there, it also felt like I was bringing work home which is a big no-no.
What do you like better? Especially if it’s not like bringing work home.
In the brief time I used it I’ll admit it offers quite a lot of tools in a single service, I never explored all of them but found alternatives to offer more functionality.
Calendar? Well there are plethora’s of WebDAV softwares out there; SabreDAV, Davis, Milton.
Text and or calls? Well lately I’ve converted majority of my chats to Matrix using my own home server and using Sable as my client, I much prefer the transparency with encryption keys.
If you want everything in one place sure NextCloud is certainly the route, however as I mentioned in my previous comment it felt like i was at work when I was at home, it didn’t fit the need for me and was considered wasted resources on my server.

Where are you hosting it for that low?
Which VPS do you use?
