When I deleted, it went into internal server error mode (I cannot run any root commands as on shared hosting). So, I made the file
this didnât do anything for me (nc 24)
the ad is still displayed in user profil âŚ
iâve opened apps/settings/css/settings.scss and added âdisplay: none;â
// Button for âReasons to use Nextcloud in your organizationâ
.development-notice {
text-align: left;
display: none;
it works for me, no need of custom css

Here are my 2 cents for NC version 24
Go into your installation directory example here /var/www/nextcloud
cd themes
cp -r example custom_name
echo â#open-reasons-use-nextcloud-pdf { display: none; }â |sudo tee -a custom_name/core/css/server.css
nano custom_name/defaults.php
Name your cloud instance in the last file. defaults.php
Add âthemeâ => âcustom_nameâ, to your config.php
keep a backup of this folder custom_name.

Really, this is a total nuissance.
Every update (even minor ones) this "âÂŁ$%^ÂŁ$^%â is back
Granted, itâs doesnât take a lot to remove it but it is VERY annoying, particularly for a company that claims to respect privacy.
What I am referring to, is this âin your faceâ advertising.
I have no problem with promoting and advertising nextcloud, but it has to be done in the right manner.
I also find it a pity that whenever it comes to advertising or messages regarding Nextcloud Enterprise, that there are no proper configuration options. I expect better configuration options from an AGPL software. Another very bad example regarding the user experience is this thread. Nextcloud GmbH does not want to change it at all. And it just looks like shit see this example: https://nc.nl.tab.digital (screenshot). No wonder all users find Microsoft 365 more stylish. In Microsoft are no warnings about possible functional limitations at login. Furthermore, Microsoft would not list this kind of warning directly on the application in a visually unappealing way, but perhaps very discreetly at the bottom or in the settings. As an unknowing user i would be afraid to continue using the Nextcloud instance. Using Nextcloud with more than 500 users is perfectly legal. But in any case, as a user or operator, I would get upset about it every time I log in. The design is bad. Where is the design team to change it?
While I wouldnât have described it quite so harshly, I very much agree with you.
I really like nextcloud, and I use it extensively (I avoid google, MS, and amazone, wherever I can.
One big flaw in nextcloud is:
to much nerd (and management), too little userâŚ
Donât get me wrong, being a techi, I like nerd and can handle it quite well, but the users struggle with too much nerdy input.
In order to really get some decent usability input, you have to test with users, who have no clue. As well as documenting the responses from those users.
Only then can you get a truly intuitive user interface.
Seriously? Assuming youâre talking about thisâŚ
Whatâs so bad about it? It only shows up on the user settings page. How often are you on that page during daily use? I mean, itâs not like itâs displayed anywhere where you do actual work. Ok, they could move it to a separate âAboutâ tab, but otherwise this is no worse than any other about section, which is usually integrated somewhere in every software product.
Thatâs a hole other topic, which I wonât discuss today. 
Only that much, unlike with the actual topic of this thread, which I consider a non-issue, Iâm a bit more conflicted with the user limit, and how they implemented it.
You are right, of course. I also just wanted to remind you, because nothing happened.
And thatâs exactly why I would be happy if some things were designed a little nicer.
Back to the orginal problem:
Maybe the blue button with âGrĂźnde fĂźr die Verwendung von Nextcloud in deiner Organisationâ can better be a small link. It seems a little bit like advertising for Nextcloud. I have no problems with that. But a normal logo or text would probably be more appropriate. it has already been asked several times whether this cannot be changed. Maybe here can be the link to Nextcloud Fair Use Policy and NGO program. Who clicks on the current link, probably learns nothing new. https://cloud.server.tld/settings/download/reasons
Yeah sure, it isnât beautiful from a design standpoint. But on the other hand itâs on a page where you donât have anything to do on a daily basis, and I also find it perfectly legitimate that they advertise the services of their company at one place in the product. I mean itâs not like there is a banner on every page or a nag screen after login every one and so often, like with âFreemiumâ products from many commercial vendors, or with the Collabora CODE Docker container.
That should not be a reason to improve an AGPL software a little bit. Enough programmers will exist. Also certainly takes less than an hour.
Yes it is ok. But i think the button and text can be improved.
You can configure the Nextcloud footer and that is very nice. The problem on the login page see my other problem can not change, I also find much worse. Not only that it is really ugly. I think most users wonât even understand the issue. Maybe you can also add a link on the login page above username/password to Push notifications - Nextcloud Fair Use Policy and NGO program. So that the user understands why the message appears in the first place.
âDiese Community-Version von Nextcloud wird nicht unterstĂźtzt und (Push-)Benachrichtigungen sind nur begrenzt verfĂźgbar.â
Yeah, but as I said, this is another, and more complicated topic, imho.
One could also argue, that you just shouldnât use Nextcloud without subscription for more than 500 users. I think this specific warning on the log-in page is indended to hurt, at least a little. Whether this is the right way to convince more companies to pay for Nextcloud Enterprise, is certainly questionable, and I honestly have my doubts, that this is the right way to do it.
Yes. I understand that and i also understand Nextcloud GmbH. But I donât understand why you have to present the message to the end user before login. In my opinion, this is only done to spoil the operator and the users of Nextcloud, which is free according to AGPL, with more than 500 users. The fact that Nextcloud GmbH provides an infrastructure for push notifications and also apps and normally earns money with larger installations, I find perfectly fine. However, I do not find it okay how this is presented to the end user.
What about providers such as https://cloud.tab.digital or their instance https://nc.nl.tab.digital? Are they the bad guys from Nextcloud GmbHâs point of view, since they do not license many users with 8 GB of storage, especially those who are free? Maybe someone can write something about this.
I think Tab.Digital doesnât have to and doesnât want to point out the limitations of Nextcloud to users before they log in. Tab.Digital can do that much better in other places. As a Tab.Digital, I would probably rewrite the login page and discreetly move the message to the footer.
Yeah, I tend to agree with you on this one.
Although I do think that large companies with more than 500 employees, and also service providers like tab.digital should pay for Nextcloud if they are using it commercially, I donât think that such a message belongs on the login screen. And I think it could even have the opposite effect in many cases, as what Nextcloud GmbH wants to achieve with it, meaning it could also turn potential customers away from Nextcloud, instead of convincing them to get a subscription. But I am not a marketing professional, and this is just how I feel about this.
Anyways, home users and smaller SMBs are not affected by this, except maybe service providers like tab.digital, which do also offer free hosting. However, they might have to rethink their business model, or fork NC and patch this stuff out. I mean at the end of the day, itâs not the responsibility of the Nextcloud GmbH whether the business model of a company that uses Nextcloud is sustainable or not.
But again, I agree with you, that this should be handled in a better and more elegant way.

Thanks. I comment my other thread and either it will be changed or it wonât. As written I have no problem with the procedure, but only with the text on the login page.
