Nextcloud is a pile of PHP scripts, while Seafile splits and diffs individual file blocks, and absolutely flies at &amp;#x27;whatever the lower of of your network and drive speed is&amp;#x27;, handling any file sizes you can throw at it.&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, Seafile is also a binary distributed by Chinese team, and if I was a Chinese secret service, I&amp;#x27;d build in all the backdoors I can, which I guess already happened.</text></comment>

We have 20+ accounts, tons of shared files, and whatnot.&lt;p&gt;Just upgraded to Nextcloud 25 (literally 20 minutes ago), and no problems whatsoever.&lt;p&gt;I deployed it on a virtualized server which is not extremely powerful, and everybody seems to enjoy the productivity boost it brought into the team.</text></comment>
