Hello, I have a small team in charge of preparing documents for
company products, and I'm looking for a better way to organize files
than Windows explorer. The tool should have the following basic
requirements:

- Self hosted, open source
- Can handle Word, Excel, PDF files (OCR PDF would be a plus)
- Metadata, tags
- Global search
- User permissions
- Version control: Can view edit history, roll back changes,...
- Easy to use GUI

Paperless-ngx seems popular but it doesnt have version control. I
think it's better to ask the pro here. If anyone can give
recommendation I'd be grateful

Nextcloud would do most of it. Add in some add ins and you'd have it
all.

what advantages would it have over ready-made solution for DMS
(openkm, mayan, alfresco...)?
