Stream media files: Nextcloud works very well as an online media streaming server. It comes with a built-in music player, and the web interface and iOS apps happily played every video we file we threw at them. All videos previewed fine in Android, but in our tests the Android app was a little fussier with what media files it would play in full-screen mode. Curiously, we also encountered occasional problems in Android even when streaming content using an external player such as VLC.

NextCloud: A Dropbox alternative: Introduced by previous developers of ownCloud, NextCloud remains to be one of the, if not the most popular open source cloud storage software. Being open source, anyone can install NextCloud for free. The only service the user will pay for (and at a very small amount at that) is the private server in which they host it on. Now it’s apparent what some may already be thinking – “Google Drive is free to use as well”. This is true, yet both Dropbox and Google Drive still have data limits or are not entirely “private”. This is the advantage of NextCloud being a self-hosted cloud storage platform.

The biggest pull, of course, is that Nextcloud provides you with total control over how and where your files are stored. This is a big privacy win, although the fact that end-to-end encryption remains at the “trial” stage does introduce privacy concerns when using third-party (hosted) storage space. We get the strong impression that e2ee is in reality considered fairly robust even at this stage, but until a stable version is released, it is not possible to recommend for sensitive data. That said, encrypting the entire instance with something like EcnFS should provide more than enough security for most users. Setting up a fully hosted Nextcloud account is so easy that your mother could do it, and is certainly a privacy improvement over using a big name cloud service. It does, though, miss out on the real privacy benefits of running your own Nextcloud instance as it requires trusting a third-party provider to manage it for you.

You will receive the original Nextcloud CE version in the latest release (stable release). We take care of the technology and the updates. Our offers also include the free use of online document processing onlyOffice CE Edition. The cloud is technically designed for the occasional single user, but we do not have a software limitation on users and you can set up more users at any time. Optionally, you may use your own existing (sub-) domain with the cloud or register with us. Thus, the cloud can be reached at https://your.domain.com Nextcloud clients for Android, iOS and desktop systems allow you to sync and share files, in a fully secure way through an encrypted connection. The mobile clients feature automatic upload of pictures and videos you take and can synchronize select files and folders. The clients can handle multiple accounts, show all activity happening on your server and notify you of new events such as the availability of new shares.
