It says I have 59.6MB storage instead of 8GB and itâs all used by whatever place holder they put in there.
I thought these hosting providers would be high quality options since they are FOSS friendly. Thought at least I would ditch google contact and calendar using this hosting provider: tabs.digital.
So far, the experience is no good, mostly non functional panel without access to any support. If you click on any support option it basically tells you to upgrade!!
@atiq welcome to the communityforum of Nextcloud where volunteers spend their sparetime trying to help other users with their problems.
so you might have already understood that the broad majority here isnât connected to Nextcloud, the company⌠and isnât paid by anyone from the company.
apart from that tab.digital is no company owned by Nextcloud. They use the community version of NC for free (which is completely allowed and legal) to do their thing and offer their service and to make their business from it. If you think you face problems with their service their support is your first choice to get in touch with.
ummm⌠maybe your instance is saying something like â59.6MB storage usedâ?
afaik tab.digital offers 8GB of storage for free and usually the keep their word on that. plus . ca 60MB used would make sense since the common installation-routine set up some example-files for you (can be fully deleted).
well tbh I dunno why you said that. Do you think that sentece will make you look good and raise your image on this forum? apart from the fact that - I repeat - tab.digital is a company of their own. Like: someone gave you a car for free to fully use it at your will. but you donât pick it at the company that offers it to you, no you want someone driving it for you as well. and so you get your car from a company that offers maintaining and driving it for you. again: for free - as long as you can cope with only 8 gallons of fuel. Hooray: you can start it and it shows âless than 1% of your 8 gallons of fuel is already usedâ and so you blame the company that originally build the car for giving you the shice? thatâs ridiculous, right?
well first and foremost that is YOUR PoV on something. It doesnât automatically mean that you are right with what YOU think.
So let me get that staight for you: every hosting provider is a company of their own. the goal of comopanies usually is: making money from their business in order to pay their bills, their employees and taxes (etc). they user THEIR know how in setting up a nextcloud-instance for THEIR clients on THEIR hardware.
do you see any âFOSS friendlyâ in there? or any âhigh qualityâ-promise? No. Since thatâs not neccessarily part of any deal here (and I neither said nor meant that any hosting provider wouldnât offer high quality hosting - I simply canât tell because I donât know). THEY can offer whatever THEY want. Itâs THEIR business. Which has nothing to do with Nextcloud, the software nor Nextcloud, the company.
So hereâs a few things you can do
learning to read correctly
leaving tab.digital and look for a different provider who offers a free plan
hosting NC yourself
choosing a different product to store your calendars
Well, I mean⌠Itâs clearly an error on their part. The fact that the maximum storage is exactly the same as the amount currently used by all the template files suggests to me that they probably assigned you a zero storage quota, which is likely a mistake on their part rather than something intentional.
I guess youâre allowed to be frustrated when something you signed up for doesnât work as advertised, regardless of whether itâs free or not. Iâd personally still make a distinction between the two, though. As I said above, it was probably just a mistake when the account was provisioned, and mistakes can happen regardless of whether youâre using FOSS or expensive proprietary software.
Whether it makes sense to vent your frustration here is a different matter. The problem has nothing to do with Nextcloud, but exclusively with Tab.Digital, which is not associated with Nextcloud or this forum.
Venting your frustration here also wonât help you solve the actual problem, because the only people who can help you with this are Tab.Digital themselves.
@atiq fyi - new accounts are limited automatically by system-default. for every new user.
if youâd post more and more the limitations will be removed automatically, step by step.
