I just setup Seafile on a docker instance I had to test its performance. I like Nextcloud but for somethings (like WAF) I needed a little simpler setup. I liked using Nextcloud cause I can have an S3-like service for external storage and I think I can do the same with Seafile without having to go through S3Fuse or anything like that.

Woohoo, I finally cancelled my Dropbox subscription! -
Woohoo, I finally cancelled my Dropbox subscription!For me its about use case. I have all three (seafile, NC, Syncthing).
NC has more complexity but a wider use case
Syncthing has granularity built in but with that it comes with extra buttons and knobs to push and turn. I would be nice if there was a 'Easy' and 'Advanaced' settings for Syncthing so you could use it as Dropbox or as intricate backup solution.
I am just digging into Seafile and like @scooke says, its your own Dropbox which is nice. People who do not need a whole lot or wants to deal with a whole lot can just connect their devices and go about their day.
