Yeah, NextCloud is overkill for that. I see it as the back-end of the phones of my family though, calendar/contacts sync, auto picture uploading (which you can view on a map even), sharing files within the family, of-site backups for everyone. I'm just waiting for NextCloud Talk to support federation so I can talk between servers (I say family but it means different families, in my language there is a word for just parents and kids and when you also include more ("gezin" vs "familie"), not sure what to use, but we have multiple domains and servers (all in my basement though ;))


US usage: parents and kids = "nuclear family"

Everyone who lives together = "household"

Family not living together = "extended family"
