A simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud, built with TypeScript and Deno.
First I hear of it. Seems to be developed primarily by a single developer.
I have not tested it.

Thanks mnalis for posting the fix on the Github issue thread. I had spent time fruitlessly trying the Nextcloud app settings, permissions settings, and other stuff, but nothing had any effect - auto upload would not trigger.
Under Android Settings / User & accounts / Nextcloud / Sync the options File sync was OFF! I toggled it ON and the thing started uploading photos immediately.
American companies will never be able to resist the demands of American intelligence services. It doesn't matter if their servers are located in Virginia or Paris or on the damn moon.
Although the author does not mention alternatives, I think he makes a a strong case for self-hosted services (such as Nextcloud).

Now easy to migrate your data from the following services to your Nextcloud account.
Note: in all cases, the administrator has to install the corresponding app first!
- OneDrive. To be able to migrate data, the Nextcloud instance administrator also has to setup OAuth credentials with OneDrive for their server.
- Dropbox. Connecting it to your account should just work.
- Google. To be able to migrate data, the Nextcloud instance administrator also has to setup OAuth credentials with Google for their server.
