[Liverpool] NextCloud conversation last night - calendar/contacts sync

[Sebastian Arcus]

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the reply. That's fine - I just though I would ask, in 
case anyone has used NextCloud in a heavier setup. Just for clarity, I 
was referring to a single calendar or address book containing 2-3000 
entries (or more), not 2-3000 users using NextCloud. My setups haven't 
quite reached that scale yet! :)

Thanks again,

Seb

They seem to recommend using CalDAV / CardDAV instead - but in the past I've had poor experience with both protocols. I find that it sort of works ok up to 100-300 items of either contacts or calendars, but when you throw more at it, the implementations I tried just fall over during the sync. Has anyone had contacts or calendar sync working (to a mobile platform, preferably) with NextCloud with larger data sets - at least 2-3000 contacts or calendar items by any chance? It is one reason I ended up with Horde - as they provide ActiveSync, and it manages to syncronise large datasets to clients reliably.
