Problems with various cloud hosts and filesharing
Box
- need business account for anonymous upload
Dropbox
- rubbish
- file request may NOT need business account - need to test
OneDrive
- file request needs business account
Google Drive
- uploader needs google account
FileRun --- use for as long as possible
- Superb, but personal version discontinued late 2023
- gold standard
Aurora Files --- best choice for sharing with known users
- great interface
- resolves file changes on backend
- no self registration
- no file requests
Filegator --- best choice for blind uploads
- difficult to customize
- blind uploads allowed
- allows nested folders and replicates them
- figures out backend changes
NextCloud
- overkill
- self registration needs plugin but works
- file requests use cludgy public uploads
- backend is a mess
- user names are random strings
- does not resolve backend changes
- no windows server version
- requires PHP 8
OwnCloud
- overkill
- self registration needs plugin and has no install instructions
- file requests use cludgy public uploads

Seafile
