Was talking about file services/NextCloud earlier and ran across this online through unrelated search results. Pretty interesting at a low cost (~$79).

For home use, that would be great -- drop a bigger drive in there.
But for Business use, I dunno. I'll wait and see what others have to say.
I agree to a degree.
At that price print (~$80 ) what is stopping you from having say four or five and rsync'ing them?
I'm not sure how the Nextcloud software would handle that.
NextCloud may not be able to... but if it's sitting on top of a Linux Distro, I would think that a cron could perform the action.
Monday - Backup to Unit 1
Tuesday - Copy Unit 1 to 2 back up to one
etc.... -

etc....For case of backups, yeah, that's feasible. But I know you can't migrate files from one Nextcloud server to another without migrating the DB as well.

etc....Would just have to change the IP if the primary one failed. I wonder if maybe you could cluster them together instead, NC might freak out though.

Just copy the DB as well during the backups then, right?

You're on WD's site, you need to be on WD Labs site.

All of you has short term memory issues or something?
@jospoortvliet announced it here when it happened, only 17 days ago.

No short term memory issues. I just hadn't searched for Nextcloud Box on ML. That's my bad.

Weird,.. the WDLabs link to buy now, again kick you over the WD ...

The per-configured, easy-to-use platform handles file storage and syncing. It requires no maintenance and enables users to install more functionality through apps like Spreed, video-conferencing; OpenHab, open-source home automation, and Collabora Online, a cloud-based version of the LibreOffice office suite.
Seriously, requires no maintenance? Does it auto update the OS and NextCloud and any apps you install? If not, then it has maintenance!
Seriously, other than cost, why use this over any number of other hosted cloud service for a home user?

Well, NextCloud 10 and on, have a new updated built into the GUI. No longer needing to be manually updated or updated via repo. This may be what it means. Still not no maintenance IMO.

Do you know, does that provide update for the OS too?
What happens where there's another patch for OpenSSL? All those NextCloud boxes on the internet are suddenly vulnerable.

Which is why I was saying it likely only means their auto updater.

Clearly the article was WAY over reaching.

It's Linux, it MIGHT update the OS. Easy enough to have the OS handle that automatically.
