Nextcloud

Kommentare: Hands-down best cloud system I've used. Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive - I've tried them all, and beyond storage capacity that's either limited or costly, they don't offer as much flexibility for managing multiple folders. And even the best of them had conflict files more often than I've seen with Nextcloud.

Vorteile: Nextcloud has opened up smoother, more flexible workflows for coordinating work between machines in my office and team members around the world. Lately we've been expanding our use of Nextcloud to include many of the popular apps available for it, like Calendar, Announcements, and the nifty kanban tool Deck.

Nachteile: Easier ways to deploy apps to specific groups would be welcome, and given Nextcloud's strong community I trust that's in the works.

Vorteile: Its easy to use, stable and dependable, extremely customisable, and works across all mobile and desktop operating systems. Perhaps most importantly, through the built in app store, it serves as a platform for many other key business applications which we need, such as collaborative document editing, calendar and contact sync and share, internal knowledge base (wiki), and more.

Nachteile: It could be easier to get set up. The video conferencing features so far didn't work reliably on our installation.

Kommentare: We need to work on documents together with our customers. Prior to using Nextcloud, they were e-mailed back and forth, a nightmare. Only few of our can provide their own cloud storage, so we help out. It's easy enough to administer and by providing that service, we don't have to work in multiple customer clouds. In the context of a nonprofit association, we use Nextcloud to work on ideas, and to collaboratively keep the minutes of our meetings. Another functionality most important to us is contacts, calendar and tasks. That way, all data remains private and under our sole control.

Vorteile: That it's open source, focussed on security and privacy and VERY actively developed (in terms of bugs reported being fixed).

Nachteile: There ARE rough edges and I tend to hit them all. I eagerly await the PC client that allows to sync some directories on demand only.

Kommentare: We have our critical data in our own controlled cloud environment. Our teams are spread all over the place in Germany, therefore NC is an excellent solution to support our collaboration.

Vorteile: Easy to setup and ease of use. Clients available on all plattforms (W10, OSX, iOS, Linux). Integratrion with Active Directory is quite essential for us. Easy to administrate. UNIX Platform. It is very robust!

Nachteile: That there is no integration with MS-SharePoint or MS-o365. This is really neccessary in todays world, although I am not a MS fan at all, but for business purposes this is really essential!

Kommentare: Nextcloud is awesome because it allows me to backup personal and financial information on my own storage system so that I am in control of the data. It also makes it easy to share that data between computers and users.

Vorteile: The software is easy to setup and keep up to date. It notifies you when new version are available and makes it easy to quickly install the updates. Creating user accounts is simple and allows different users to store their data on Nextcloud. Sharing between users is quick and painless and makes it easy for information to be made available to the people who need it.

Nachteile: Updating user clients can be a challenge some times but eventually I have been able to get them to work.
