Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • I appreciate its free price tag, and it is a very user-friendly app. I definitely recommend it as the go-to application for FTP purposes.
  • I can now handle projects on both my local PC and the distant server with ease. I'm also capable of maintaining appropriate synchronization between the two platforms.
  • It has a simple UI, which makes it way easy to use. I like how you can rename the file names on Server as well (helps in taking backup of file before uploading the updated one).
  • Cons

  • I feel that using this software is a waste of time and effort. The use for this is limited and it's just not necessary.
  • There seems to be no arrows/icons visible to quickly upload/download the files.
  • It took me a while to get rid of the junk software, scan my computer for potential threats and carry on. There was no ability to synchronize folders so changes are automatically copied over.

  • Pros

  • The build-in addons are a huge win. From my perspecitve one of the best choices you can do as a system adminsitrator if you want to deploy a software like nextcloud.
  • The interface for a free and open source app is amazing. I love the ability to customize the login screen and it integrates well with Active Directory.
  • The best opensource software to store and share your files. Numerous add-ons, version 20 is very good.
  • Cons

  • The risk for conflicting versions if using desktop client, but this may be soved in version 18 as you can locck the file while editing.
  • And it is really tempting to add them. But this constitutes a weakness at the same time, because no one guarantees you that these apps will work with the next update of the software.
  • What can be bad when you are in complete control over your own data.
