33 c yesterday, about 16 today, but global warming aint real....

Depending on where you live, it could be 0C today and -25C tomorrow, followed by sudden snow storms, freezing rain, and then back up to 33C over the weekend, lol.

Yep, spot on. Wore shorts at the start of the week, now being forced back to jeans. This weather is playing havoc with my wardrobe!

I started playing around with nextcloud. Trying to see if this is a viable replacement for our windows based file server.

The use of NC compared to a network share is significant with the exception of WebDAV shares. The sync client can make personal files available easy enough - assuming enough local storage - but how do you manage shared drives?

If you already have an AD environment, you just connect NextCloud to the AD environment and do user/group permissions like normal. The latest demo that I put together is joined to AD and uses the in-place file server for storage. It's making files accessible by any device anywhere.

Sitting at my CIO's desk today in our headquarters. Feels super weird.

I don't follow - are you saying NC has SMB sharing? If so - cool!

I think he means he's just using NC as an optional interface to the file server

You nailed it.

In this case, it's enabling Android tablets to access a share on the file server. The Android client for NextCloud always makes sure it is showing an up to date list of files. The other "sync" type software just stop syncing randomly, so it's fixing a major headache.

Which other are you talking about? OneDrive?
