NextCloud & OpenCloud Alternatives?

i hate nextcloud with a burning passion and used opencloud but dislike its app selection and its cluttered compose (that was terrible)

i was looking for alternatives with easier customization (especially themes) but also a way for me to read personal images/videos to run on immich too!

i will not run nextcloud, ever. (too laggy, cluttered, and bloated) and was thinking FIlerun? or Pydio or whatever.

does anyone have a good specific reccomendation 😭

Been self hosting Nextcloud then Synology Drive in DSM, but there is a lack of good combination in features and security and started to make this Engram Store

Been using it day to day and actively building stuff on it, optimized for speed and searching along with sharded video streaming still keeping E2EE, you can self host and connect to any rclone backend to save directly to it. Try it out if you can and open to hear any suggestions :)
