Here we (Kenya) banned single-use plastic bags back in 2017!!

DivestOS is the only Android ROM I know of that integrates the Mulch webview. But Tad (DivestOS dev) also builds standalone binaries of Mulch that can be installed independently- just add their repo into f-droid or something like droidify and you're good to go.

Learning the gestures currently with Connect. At least it doesn't crash randomly.

When I said Nextcloud-like, I meant in function and not philosophy. So Nextcloud-like in the sense that you can do file sync, auto uploads of videos/photos from a mobile device etc

I haven't tried the desktop app but the Android one works just fine - plus it comes with a 'document provider' so you can access files stored on your server via Android's native files explorer app as if they were on your phone.

This reminds me of Starship Troopers.

For me personally, ocis is way better than Nextcloud for basic sharing and file sync.

Poet assistant maybe?

Maybe you should give Ubuntu Server a spin. Last I tried, Nextcloud snap was the easiest way to get Nextcloud up and running.

Synology's Download Station introduced me to emule. I don't think there's a more polished client for it than DS.

I don't think it's something you can fix unfortunately. Just use something else like Connect or Liftoff while waiting for the admins to update their instance.

You should look into OCIS. You can set it up in minutes and it's really fast compared to Nextcloud for basic file's stuff (share, sync, stream, photo auto uploads).
