- I’ve found it best to keep files very limited, no more than a couple gigabytes of files ever available to a user in the cloud.
- Everything is automatically moved into backups and cold storage via cron automation and rsync.
- Nothing important ever lives “only” in Nextcloud.
- Sync is not a backup solution, nor should it be.
- Everything available to the user relates to particular core fields of interest
- It isn’t possible to relate different apps together in an ad-hoc manner, so I turn to a combination of Qownnotes API + Notes app, Joplin
- Cryptomator is the only trust worthy e2e tool I’ve ever used across all mobile and desktop devices.
- Auto-uploads are managed via syncthing, as user www-data and localstorage, due to the nature of how large and numerous my files can be. This helps minimize two factors:
- Less things to upload on the clients, plus it is faster
- No dependence on a central server, including my own. Device to device is fine and skips webdav sync altogether.
- It is easy to be disorganized since Nextcloud does not understand my organization methods in any straightforward way via tags or between FIles and other apps.
- I’ve found it best to manage directly into cold storage
- Only those things I’m actively sharing, referencing, and waiting for as uploads (via webui) reside in Nextcloud at any time.
