Seems like a nice update to a piece of software that needs a way to standout against their, arguably, more popular fork. However...

> ownCloud Infinite Scale

This type of branding makes me nauseous.

Rewriting in go sounds great, but why microservices? Isn’t the target audience the “throw this onto a Raspberry PI / NAS and forget it” crowd?

I can’t imagine people wanting to administer dozens of independent daemons for such a setup.

Wow. This really looks interesting!

Ditching PHP for Golang and a full rewrite? Kudos!

I was not very happy with the ownCloud product and this rewirte was very much needed. I seem like they were just adding feature but tons of it just didn't work well at all.

I'm fine with less features, add them when they are ready.

I would maybe try it again after a rewrite.

Anybody have good alternatives? For me most important was exposing my files to other users and giving them access selectively. Also syncing files to the app would have been a great feature for me (this caused the most issues for me).

Using Nextcloud myself, that would be a good point to migrate. Nextcloud is not bad but sometimes i think the releases are not tested enough, with every release there is a problem, often not big ones but it's a bit to hmmm needy?

And there is also Seafile which is often forgotten:

The logo is really bad

NextCloud is more than enough for me with full secure setup. I do remmember pulled the repo of ownCloud on some dietpi and I did not liked it. UI a bit oldscool and borring source code.
