In addition to what other people mentioned, nextcloud had latest free client applications for mobile devices. Owncloud was $0.99 for each mobile device. You can find really old version free for android. Not that the cost stops me: I was really happy to pay when I started using owncloud, so grateful to them I was for their existence. However, I run my android de-googled, so applications come not from the google app store. Hence, it will be hassle with paid applications.
