I know the discussion of ownCloud vs NextCloud is as old as time but most of those discussions focus on the photo and file syncing features. I wanna know if ownCloud or NextCloud would be better for office and collaborative work. Stuff like hosting and running Collabora, CalDAV, CardDAV, file sharing.

If using it as just a file server, owncloud is superior for its stability probably because it's tested better. I've had nextcloud break on production multiple times. It moves fast and breaks things, which is not ideal for production environments. Nextcloud has a bunch of apps, and at first I tried several and they were cool, but now I prefer reliability over a bunch of half-baked apps. I run both nc and oc by the way. Nc has better mobile app support and some cool apps, oc is frustrating because of lack of features, but it is rock solid compared to nc's frustrating breakage. Hopefully quality increases but it's been years of sometimes very painful production issues.

I have also been using Nextcloud for years and have never had a problem with the software.
