What do you like best about Nextcloud?

Nextcloud even at the unpaid level has a huge number of very useful features which link into both desktop and mobile really well, making working while in or out of the office and syncing important files something you never have to think about. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nextcloud?

The Docker resources are slow to update which is a shame as the new features look great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nextcloud:

Start with the ease of backing up files, and expand to the access off site, add a sprinkle of ToTP (2FA) and enable auditing. Once they have got the hand of this, then add a few extra plugins, then wow them with the video conferencing. Have the whole thing linked to AD and you're good to go in less than a day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nextcloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing access to file historically needs VPN's, VPN clients, in some cases BYOD and support, Next cloud provided a central file hub, with GDPR auditing and building on that, provided a good communications replacement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nextcloud?

Nextcloud is one of the most reliable tools for managing my files, communications and live collaboration. It's easy to set up and configure, and offers a high level of customization – from syncing and transferring documents across devices to internal messaging and integrated video conferencing, Nextcloud is well suited to my work needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nextcloud?

It has several advantages but Nextcloud isn't the friendliest option for non–technical users when trying to properly configure security settings, user permissions and integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nextcloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nextcloud is a single platform under my own control that has helped me manage files without relying on external servers. It offers advanced options such as Ssl which improves the speed and security of file transfer (through advanced encryption) and also facilitates collaborative document editing thanks to its integration with other services such as OnlyOffice.

What do you like best about Nextcloud?

At my company, we use Nextcloud to store files on a local server, organize tasks and calendars, or even keep notes. The option to integrate several mail accounts in the application is also of great advantage.

The ability to share files and folders with our customers makes it very easy for us without paying for some of the famous Cloud services.

At home, I have additionally made a Raspberry Pi NAS with Nextcloud, which is ideal with external hard drives for a home gallery or video library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nextcloud?

With the updates that the system receives, there are often applications that are not compatible and cannot be used.

But as an OpenSorce platform, many improvements or solutions to problems related to the ideal setup can be found on the Internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nextcloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I already mentioned, it is a great convenience to have one system manage all this (file archive, emails, tasks, notes) on our own server. Convenient and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
