Thinking of migrating to iCloud for my only cloud storage. But how the heck can someone share a file or folder with someone, without forcing them to have an Apple ID?

Sticking with Sync and Dropbox for now I guess.

@michael Yup, very familiar with Nextcloud for clients, just not for me yet. I can run Nextcloud on my local synology, which makes sharing difficult, or pay to host online. But if I am paying, why not pay someone else to manage it all for me (Dropbox/Sync etc)? And yeah, all those privacy issues etc. Nextcloud though has the added bonus of all those add-ons, which some are pretty nice. I’d need around 1TB, perhaps I can back it with AWS S3 to keep costs and redundancy down?

@outofcontrol @michael you have a Synology NAS? 1tb RAID is trivial isn't it? There are commercial Nextcloud providers I'd pay before Dropbox too

@falken @michael The NAS has 8TB RAID split over 4 4TB Drives with a hot spare. Not sure I want it to be publicly accessible… though I guess part already is for my photo gallery.

Sadly need Dropbox and Sharepoint for a few clients, but at least I don’t pay for those.
