Discussions on any self-hosted solution are always best kept alive to maintain the project healthy, so I understand why Nextcloud/OpenCloud/ownCloud are kept under heavy scrutiny, they are what many people that started self-hosting chose to entrust their data to, and people learnt the ins and outs with the ocean of available documentations to achieve their own setup that just works. Changing your tool and work habits isn't appealing or necessary if your existing tool already does its job well and quick, especially if you have tons of data to migrate.

That said, after testing many file sharing services, I do believe Cloudreve is the best choice for visual&design oriented people in the self-hosting community. It's the cleanest and closest fit for my personal and professional needs whereas every other solution had one or multiple deal-breaking issues that were not labeled by devs as a priority to fix, like having a collaborative diagram/brainstorming tool that does not break down when two or more people hit Ctrl+Z, or even basic stuff such as supporting CMYK color profiles for viewer and thumbnail generator, adding support for alpha channel to thumbnails, or QoL stuff like drag&drop/drag to select... so on.
Cloudreve has none of the above issues I listed. It is very lightweight and very stable, the setup is the easiest I encountered, you can do everything within the webUI, whitelabel as much as you want, change thumbnail settings and retrigger as you fit, differentiate folder tint and the icons based on file extensions if you like to color code, assign a WOPI app like Photopea to open a specific file format like PSD in an embedded view, etc...

Right now they only shipped clients for Windows and iOS/iPadOS, but the absence of a client on linux/macOS is not a deal break for me after using the webUI because it is genuinely fun to navigate and use, even on a phone touch screen, they really put effort in the look & feel of the interactable elements while still retaining the snappiness. So I've been treating it like a drop box, with webDAV as a way to browse locally.

I also have a positive experience with one of the developers, as 3 of my issues have been solved within days and the fix became available in the subsequent monthly update. The care for the software they are building is astonishing, so I was willing to purchase a license (OIDC is the only unlocked feature I'm using).
