In which I take back another part of my digital life and step up to actually own it. This time it's setting up my own file-syncing replacement for Dropbox/Google Drive with @nextcloud.

@patdavid I use my @nextcloud to share photos with my son's baseball team. I use public gallery links. I had one parent say to me: "Oh, you have the perfect photo sharing platform."

@ted @patdavid @nextcloud Love hearing about things like this! Are you both running on your own local servers or are you using a cloud provider of some sort (or something in-between)? I'm interested in doing this again. For a while I had this running on a not-powerful-enough dreamhost shared server, but I'd like to do it right.

@K_REY_C @ted @nextcloud I'm actually almost done migrating all of my old Dropbox-related stuff over. Just a bit of cruft left that'll probably get trashed and I can remove Dropbox from my machines...
