    I see NextCloud here quite a bit. What I don’t see discussed is the cloud hosting option.
    Hetzner has two NextCloud offerings.
    They have a storage service backed by NextCloud. I think that’s new. I don’t use that.

    They also have have NextCloud available as an installable app from their service.
    This is what I use. https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/apps/list/nextcloud/
    I had to actually follow the directions to get it running.
    And I have to patch it occasionally. Mostly, it takes care of itself.

    I use the cheapest 1vcpu VPC.
    Yes my NextCloud service is a bit sluggish sometimes. But I’m paying like $6/month.
    I’m pretty happy with it for storing music and updating my resume.
    Maybe if I had the more demanding use cases like some commenters, I might not like it so much.

      I used to selfhost Nexcloud in OVH (or rather Owncloud back then) but I tire of the update cycle and now I’m just paying for Hetzner for their Storage Box or whatever their Nextcloud product is called. I love selfhosting and don’t mind doing it at work but for some reason Nextcloud was annoying enough for me to switch paying to someone else to update it.
