Nextcloud is the top self-hosted file software for return on investment
Pros: It provides straightforward sharing capabilities with our entire team and solid collaboration features.
Cons: we had to reach out to customer service several times during setup, so it's not exactly a plug-and-play solution

Bonne expérience, simple, fluide. C'est un bon outil open source qui permet le lancement.
Pros: solution cloud souveraine et open source permettant le stockage, le partage de fichiers, la collaboration et la communication sécurisée. Il offre une expérience fluide et personnalisable, avec des fonctionnalités comme OnlyOffice, messagerie, visioconférence et synchronisation multi-appareils. Son principal atout est la maîtrise des données, mais son déploiement et sa maintenance nécessitent des compétences techniques.
Cons: moins de choix dans l'intégration native, nécessitent des compétences en auto hébergement. Quelques bugs aussi avec les MAJ.

Wir haben die Plattform als Collaboration Tool mit ca. 100 Beschäftigten im Einsatz.
Pros: Das es eine Open Source Lösung ist, die keine Lizenzgebühren kostet.
Cons: Die Bedienung ist nicht immer intuitiv. Es erschließt sich nicht alles von selbst.
Uwe S. · Administrator · Civic & Social Organization · January 13, 2025
Pros: The biggest plus is that it is open source. Multifunctional software with apps that can be added
Cons: Sometimes it becomes unstable and takes time to recover.
Ekin A. · HR · Civil Engineering · December 24, 2024
Gut. Das Ökosystem bietet viel, auch gibt es viele Firmen welche Consulting, Support oder sogar den Betrieb anbieten.
Pros: Die Software kann selbst betrieben werden, was insbesondere aus Datenschutzgründen einen Vorteil bietet.
Cons: Die Wartbarkeit ist anstrengend, da es Nextcloud immer wieder schafft Bugs einzuführen, welche frustrieren.
Markus R. · DevOps Engineer · Information Technology and Services · November 10, 2024

Overall, the software performs the specific task we needed it for, so have no complaints as a whole. As noted, there are a couple of "nice to have" things, though, that would make it much better.
Pros: We needed the ability to accept files (e.g., a file drop service), and this was easily accomplished with Nextcloud. It was fairly simple to set up and has worked very well.
Cons: I wish integrations like Microsoft 365 authentication were better built in. There is some support, but it's extremely cumbersome. I had it working for a while, and then out of nowhere it just stopped. No clue what happened. I didn't want to risk that in production, so for now, we've disabled that and created separate accounts. I would also like better local encryption options.
Brian S. · IT Manager · Libraries · February 22, 2024
Pros: Open source, high level of security and privacy, fully configurable without software restrictions. Great support
Cons: Although Nextcloud is well documented and a big community is providing support, setting up Nextcloud from scratch requires some IT skills and knowledge.

You phone is important and the data on it is even more important. With some products, it uploads a small amount of information but misses text messages, caller loags, and other critical files. With an 8tb hard drive, expenses from other commercial cloud art era go down keeping your information safe and secure.
Pros: Fast and secured file transfers from phones and cloud server using VPN and SSL options.
Cons: Sometimes you work on app but when an update happens, it isn't available (probably for good reasons).
Anonymous User · Owner · Computer Software · February 1, 2024
Pros: It's easy to use, easy to deploy and has a great community that is always available for help and provides plenty of third-party apps.
Cons: It needs to improve file-sharing options ("set expiration time" not available)
Mohamed B. · SysAdmin · Government Administration · December 20, 2023
Pros: I tried 4 different solutions for my simple use case of keeping family photos on my personal “cloud” aka a computer in my house that has access to the Internet. Complex, feature rich, open source! A fork of ownCloud, it covers way more cases than the one I was looking for, so I decided to use one that does just photo management, but I really appreciated the ease of use and the seamless installation of this software! I am sure, that once I’ll have an use case that Nextcloud offers, it will be my first stop! :)
Cons: Not a con! But for me, it was a _bit_ too feature rich for my liking - I like tools that do one thing, and one thing only. Safely ignore my opinion, nextCloud team does a great job at developing this solution!

Kompaktes Tool mit vielen Möglichkeiten.
Pros: Einfache Bedienung, gerade für die Mitarbeiter ist es eine Erleichterung und man hat wenig Administrationsaufwand. Es ist sozusagen ein Kinderspiel das Produkt zu nutzen. Von kostenlos bis einem humanen Lizenzmodell bei Erweiterung ist alles dabei. Der Client synchronisiert in Echtzeit und kann auf nah zu allen Plattformen genutzt werden.
Cons: Vereinzelt kommt es mal zu bugs in der Windows-App vor, die werden aber auch schnell in einer neuen Version behoben.
Nicolas N. · IT-Administrator · Farming · November 20, 2023
Pros: Fonctionne très bien, je suis un utilisateur et la facilité d'avoir accès au document de l'équipe est un plus
Cons: J'aime moins le fait qu'on doit faire attention de ne pas fermer le logiciel quand on regarde un document, car si on fait le X pour fermer le document ça ferme le logiciel. Ce n'est pas long de le rouvrir mais juste tannant

Pros: Many configuration options, great possibilities of cooperation with files. Possibility to add plug-ins to expand functionality. Client for iOS and Android desktop and mobile phones.
Cons: The large number of available options means that the implementation time is not the shortest, but this is compensated by the system's capabilities.
Mariusz W. · Director of systems maintenance and operation · Information Technology and Services · November 7, 2023
Cheers to more Services. I celebrate Nextcloud.
Pros: Nextcloud is secure. No fears of losing data while sharing. It is perfect for handling confidential information. I easily distribute information by sharing with my juniors which speeds up project. I am into Nextcloud.
Cons: Basically no cons. It is an easy to use software with little setup needed.
Frida O. · Founder · Professional Training & Coaching · October 22, 2023
Nextcloud has been a nice collaborating tool, we can share with easy files across departments. and it has nice sharing features, like making guests upload into a folder
Pros: Nextcloud has an easy workflow to learn, and its a big player in the selfhosted Foss data cloud.It has a widespread support for applications and plugin support
Cons: Nextcloud starts to feel the weight of his php codebase, its a bit crunky and no straightforward to setup. Php struggles with background tasks and big file uploads. big files (over 4GB) sometimes fail to upload and need multiple attempts
Alex Z. · Developer · Marketing and Advertising · October 6, 2023
Ce logiciel change beaucoup de choses en bien dans les activités
Pros: Pour le stockage de fichiers et de données.
Cons: Rien à dire à part le coût de l'abonnement
José Z. · Banquier · Financial Services · October 6, 2023
Pros: I use the file sharing feature the most. However, it has everything from video conferencing to office editor.
Cons: Infrastructure system that is inadequate in intensive use.
Harun A. · Engineer · Civil Engineering · September 29, 2023
We use it actively, especially for file sharing, and we are satisfied.
Pros: It's great that it offers so many features as open source. Most of its paid counterparts are not as successful as nexcloud.
Cons: Since it is opensource, it is difficult to find management-installation experts.
Mehmet K. · IT Specealist · Civil Engineering · September 21, 2023
Best Choice in Health Care.
Pros: Secure, fast, easy to use, easily adopted by nurses and doctors
Cons: As a (FREE!) community-Edition-user with no programming skills it would be cool if you could offer a bounty to the IT-Guys in the forum if you need additional features....
Joachim D. · C-Level · Medical Practice · September 16, 2023
Ottimo servizio mi sono trovato molto bene
Pros: facilita' di utilizzo rispetto ad altri servizi di file hosting, cloud storage, di memorizzazione e sincronizzazione online
Cons: piattaforma un po' meccanica e piu' costosa della concorrenza
Cristian B. · Studente-laureando informatica · Computer Hardware · September 4, 2023
Nextcloud offers to our employees a modern way to share and co-edit files internally or externally.
Pros: Nextcloud is open source and you can keep the control of your datas.
Cons: Mail app is not good enough yet. It is slow and lacks some essential functionalities.
Jérôme V. · Adjoint au DSI · Government Administration · August 29, 2023
Auf einem guten Weg.
Pros: Die vollumfänglich Anpassbare GUI mit automatisierten Prozessen.
Cons: Die Ressourcenauslastung im Idle-Betrieb ist recht hoch.
Leander W. · IT-Administration · Executive Office · July 27, 2023
Es un software muy estable para lo que fue diseñado pero se podría mejorar cuando se trabaja en modo grupo o documentos compartidos.
Pros: Cuando se trabaja en equipo se puede tener la posibilidad de compartir documentos sin perder el control sobre estos ya hay la opción de bloquear su escritura o que solo sea de consulta.
Cons: So un documento no esta protegido contra escritura y se trabaja de manera simultanea este guardara el que se guarde de ultimo ignorando los cambios del otro usuario o generando conflictos.
Jhon Eddie R. · Técnico de validaciones · Pharmaceuticals · July 26, 2023
Pros: I use self-hosted Nextcloud for me and for some of our customers and we are all satisfied: in a click you can save, share, search your files and documents. There are many extensions available as OCR, photo retouch and so on and you can connect also external sourced as S3, Google Drive, Dropbox and others.
Cons: Nextcloud community is not easy to install, but if you know systems a little and follow instructions you can do it by yourself. As an alternative you can buy Nextcloud
