I might be wrong, but it sounds like hosted nextcloud, not a completely new platform.

I'm wondering what will happen to openXchange which ionos is using currently and is afaik also holding parts of. It does exactly the same.
Kinda sounds awful honestly.
I do use nextcloud for my small team. It's the best of the selfhosted file sync platforms.
That said, it's obscenely over engineered.
Who ever wanted a file sync platform that also does calendaring and contacts?

Most O365 & exchange users? If you just want file sync, this isn't for you. If you want a collaborative (online) office suite that can also sync files, it is. It's meant to be able to replace the whole O365 stack, which includes Outlook.
You can also just not use that part, or any part you don't need. This is basic NC functionality that has been there for a very long time, so why shouldn't it be part of the package?
you can delete the calendaring and contacts apps
No, you have to complain about them. It's the law.
Well if I uninstaller them what would i complain about?
I don't make the rules. If you're on lemmy qnd nextcloud does exactly what you want you need to complain about it being "over engineered" or "bloated" because it does things you don't need.
