I'm a happy customer there.

  • 1TB for 5€ is cheaper than others (e.g., Apple 200GB for 3€)
  • hosted in Germany
  • it is a NextCloud instance which means apps for all kinds of OSs are available
  • you can install NextCloud apps for more than just storage

I am total cloud noob. Can this replace Icloud for my iOS and macOS devices?

You cannot really swap it out because iCloud is much more deeply integrated into iOS.

That said, you can recreate certain use cases. For example, I have the NextCloud app on my iPhone and it automatically uploads all my photos. It cannot do it in the background like Apple, so I need to explicitly open the app once in a while. The good part is that sharing sets of photos with people outside the Apple ecosystem is easier because NextCloud allows me to send them a link.

You cannot backup your application config with NextCloud though.
