If so, how was the overall experience? Looks like a much better alternative than completely relying on Google Drive and you can't beat the price (free!)

I've run the Nextcloud snap for years and it's been solid. If you have Ubuntu set up already (desktop or server, either work), getting started is just snap install nextcloud. Assuming you want it exposed to the internet, you can get HTTPS just by running nextcloud.enable-https. Once it's running, it keeps itself updated without any manual intervention.

Of course, this pulls you into Ubuntu and its snap ecosystem, which is not without controversy, but this is the one place I've found where snap really shines.
