        That is probably the best thing to do. Just give them a gig each and let them manage how to do it.

          Recently my family has asked me a lot of security related questions due to increased paranoia via the media. They wanted a way for them to send files securely. I of course said I can give them access to my Nextcloud server for their personal use but only for sending files, not for storing them indefinitely. I don't want to have to go into /var/www/nextcloud/data/ to audit what they have and how long they have had it there, so I wanted to create a cron job that deletes anything that has existed for 7 days, but only for certain users. Any advice or resources you guys have to offer would be appreciated, including alternative methods. Thanks.

          Just add space to your server and let your parent's have a regular account with regular permissions or or have them pay for a hosted server

          My fiance's Mom and Dad are the worst kind of computer paranoid. When you combine that with how frugal they are it's almost unworkable. After a conversation about how paranoid they were about viruses/bad websites I offered to build a $2.50/month pi-hole server on Vultr that the entire family can use and that was too much money to give you an idea of what I'm talking about here.

          LOL - OMG, then they really aren't that paranoid, because clearly they aren't willing to do what must be done to get over the paranoia.

            Good summary. I can hear myself saying that.

                I'm convinced these people like to live in a constant state of fear. There is no other explanation for their behavior.

                            I'm not as heartless as @JaredBusch , but I definitely don't do things that cause issue for me.

                            It's not that much work though. I'm just giving them access with some restrictions

                            until it breaks, or they forget how to use it, etc, etc, etc... it's a life long commitment to support.

                              Recently my family has asked me a lot of security related questions due to increased paranoia via the media. They wanted a way for them to send files securely. I of course said I can give them access to my Nextcloud server for their personal use but only for sending files, not for storing them indefinitely. I don't want to have to go into /var/www/nextcloud/data/ to audit what they have and how long they have had it there, so I wanted to create a cron job that deletes anything that has existed for 7 days, but only for certain users. Any advice or resources you guys have to offer would be appreciated, including alternative methods. Thanks.

                              Just add space to your server and let your parent's have a regular account with regular permissions or or have them pay for a hosted server

                              My fiance's Mom and Dad are the worst kind of computer paranoid. When you combine that with how frugal they are it's almost unworkable. After a conversation about how paranoid they were about viruses/bad websites I offered to build a $2.50/month pi-hole server on Vultr that the entire family can use and that was too much money to give you an idea of what I'm talking about here.

                                    Good summary. I can hear myself saying that.

                                    I can't believe it took more than 2 posts for someone to say it.

                                      Actually setting something like this up is about as stupid as it gets unless you plan to support it, and that is something I would never deal with.

                                      What happens when you decide that Nextcloud has tanked and you need to switch to DropBox Pro.

                                      What happens when you just want to turn it off and not pay for it anymore.

                                      Screw that shit.

                                        I'd be hosting it at home. The Vutlr instance I mentioned was specifically for pi-hole. I can't tell them to screw themselves even though I'd love to. Creates problems for Laura. Happy wife happy life.

                                        If I move from Nextcloud to something else obviously they would have to come with me. That would likely be self-hosted as well though.

                                          Sure you can. Tell them to go buy their own solution.

                                          You are mixing issues. That is the problem.

                                            I'd be hosting it at home. The Vutlr instance I mentioned was specifically for pi-hole. I can't tell them to screw themselves even though I'd love to. Creates problems for Laura. Happy wife happy life.
