Hello all,

For a few days now I have been reading about the shiny new opencloud alternative to nextcloud. Has anyone tried to migrate from nextcloud to opencloud?

I have not found a guide about how to move the files from one to the other. I want to try it out and if I like it enough, move. But how does one do that?

sigh the naming of these projects... I know if you've been paying attention to development projects then the similarities in naming helps you, you can assume 1 project was forked from another and vaguely already know what the project does, is used for, etc. But for nontechnical newbies I'm sure its confusing as hell having like 4 products all named similarly and you have no idea why or what the difference is and which one to choose.

Anyway, thanks for spelling it out, for anyone confused.

At least they are searchable. We use outline at work and try to find some stuf on search engines for it XD

Imagine adding OpenDesk to the mix
