"An Excellent Open-Source Solution for Team Productivity"
What do you like best about Nextcloud?

What I appreciate most about Nextcloud is the control and transparency it gives over data. Unlike many cloud providers, it allows full ownership of files while offering the same smooth collaboration features—file sharing, calendar, chat, and video meetings—all in one platform. Its open-source nature makes it highly customizable and secure, and the integration with on-premise storage is seamless. It’s a perfect solution for organizations that value privacy and digital sovereignty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nextcloud?

Although Nextcloud is an excellent platform, its initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex for non-technical users. Performance may vary depending on the server environment, and updates sometimes require manual attention to avoid compatibility issues with plugins. The mobile app experience could also be more polished, especially in terms of syncing speed and notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
