It’s too big for email, and likely too big for Dropbox or Gdrive unless you have a paid account with them.

That means you’re going to have to get slightly technical. Find a freeware SFTP program that can spawn a server on the host, and connect to it from the client to download the file.

Good luck!

It’s the containerization causing this imo. I also host nextcloud on bare metal and it’s quite stable

I’m interested, it’s on the list but pretty far down. pgsql is better hands down imho but I followed nextcloud recommendations at the time I set things up and just never switched. Thanks for the guide!!

Just wanted to +1 your comment. Installing on bare metal host is higher risk, but higher reward as well in terms of stability and performance. In my case I’m using mariaDB, redis, php, and apache and it’s been solid for years now.
