Basically more everything. 2x Cortex M33 cores with floating point, 520KB ram, more PIOs, bunch of secure boot stuff (I have mixed feelings about this), and can boot to a mode with risc-v cores instead of the M33s.

Can someone fill me in on the intended usecases for something like this? If I wanted to make a personal cloud storage (nextcloud or similar) with a bunch of HDDs for example, would this be ok or underpowered to manage that?

    These aren't meant for complex things or even to install a full operating system kernel on or for moving data files. These are more for controlling electronics directly. Something you'd find inside a very specialized device like maybe controlling the speed of an air filter fan based on information from a few environmental sensors.
