I've been a loyal owncloud and then nextcloud user but am growing disappointed in the nextcloud android app. It seems like support/development is quickly degrading. There's a file upload conflict big that was introduced in an update in September? and they still haven't rolled back or resolved the issue. https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/11974

- Files --> syncthing, or ssh access, or vpn to samba
- Calendar --> I recommend radicale (but use google)
- Notes --> Obsidian notes on top of syncthing
I moved Nextcloud from k8s to a well provisioned lxc container and ran a couple of performance boosting commands and it's been working wonders since then
Files: SYNCTHING CalcardDav: Baikal Notes: Obsidian with livesync plugin and a couchdb as backend ...yeah and webdav for folder shares inside apples files app
I love idea of Nextcloud, but its overall concept of doing everything, but nothing well enough was one of the reasons I've decided to build S3Drive. We squeeze most of the "file-management" experience out of the protocol itself. That means that all you need to self-host is the S3 storage server (e.g. MinIO)... but if you don't feel like it just yet you can buy S3 from anyone else (e.g. Backblaze / Wasabi / Synology / Cloudflare etc.) and enable 100% Rclone compatible E2E encryption to protect your privacy.
You have not stated the hardware you are running this on. It makes a huge difference. Hope this is not Raspi?

Don't get me wrong NextCloud is great and has a lot of helpful features out of the box, but I moved from this to just use;
- Samba: for mounting drives shares.
- CalDav: for shared calendars.
- CardDav: for shared contacts.
- Memos: for note taking, great little room that allows Markdown note with tagging for easy search and filter.
- Espo CRM: for logging communication with businesses, like utilities providers (comes in handy to refer to during disputes)
I'm also looking at installing a self-hosted office suite for word and Excel documents but haven't set this up yet.
Disable logging.
Sounds like you need a Synology NAS...
