OwnCloud or NextCloud etc?

Is there any real advantage to nextcloud vs owncloud?
Is there any real reason to switch from owncloud to nextcloud?
Also will my theme modifications stay if I migrate?

Support is the reason to go with NextCloud. Unsure about theme.

Support and product development. ownCloud is the OpenOffice of the space. It seemed reasonable to stay with them, but as LibreOffice diverged more and more, OpenOffice fell into obscurity and using it was pointless. The earlier you switch, likely the easier it will be.

Is there a migration guide on here?

Not yet. I plan to do a migration this weekend though. I had to get all my ownCloud systems up to current first. That is done now.

cool. My owncloud server is pretty new so it might be worth migrating.
I did alot of CSS editing and image editing so I am hoping I can copy the images and theme over.

You're going bonkers adding good stuff to ML. Awesome.

Instead of doing an upgrade, I decided to do a migration. I spun up a nextcloud instance next to my owncloud instance and migrated everything over.
I was able to migrate all my images and CSS edits easily. I only had to make a few minor tweaks as some of the formatting and colors are slightly different.

I did not have time this weekend to do the upgrade, because windows updates went south at a client.
Well technically, updates were fine, but when I upgraded hyper-v integration services that went south.

@ashish1521 I thought owncloud became nextcloud?

No they were forked, the main dev team from Owncloud forked the code and make NextCloud. Owncloud is essentially OpenOffice where as LibreOffice is the successor.

I have tried both owncloud and nextcloud but one or the other issue always came up. Switched to FileCloud recently and things have been pretty smooth since then. They have a detailed comparison for owncloud vs nextcloud and what features they have. Their USP is their customer support which never disappoints.
Not open source. Not free. Not even in the game. Also, while vendors are allowed to participate freely here, marketing agencies posting on behalf of vendors to try to mislead people are NOT allowed. This alone is a great reason to avoid FileCloud. Doesn't sound like a very honest way to do business.

The people that made ownCloud left to make NextCloud. Both products continued, but NextCloud grew and ownCloud nearly went out of business and for all intents and purposes doesn't exist anymore. But technically, it is still out there.
