Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We tested the Nextcloud iOS Beta and found the UI to be refreshingly simple and easy to navigate. Nextcloud addresses remote development and collaboration for our generation with a secure and easy to use platform. With the addition of the new photos app, it's quite like having your own enterprise collaboration platform at your fingertips, without the big tech oversight. To stay focused on collaborating together without the ads, trackers, and a nice intro to get you started off on the right foot.
- Remote collaboration platform with just the right tools.
- Ease of access from any device, anywhere.
- Solid templates for development teams to collaborate without distraction.
- Nextcloud is new and relatively unknown, but with the features of enterprise solutions.
- I'd like to see a 'vault' feature for sensitive info.
- Potential for CRM use case with contacts.
We previously used Nextcloud as a front-end for an external file shares (Windows SMB) before migrating to a full OneDrive and SharePoint solution in order to provide web-based access to files and folders in our file shares. This allowed us to support access to those files and folders by users outside of the office or those inside the office using Chrome, Android, iOS and other devices.
- Very intuitive interface.
- Superb synchronization agent.
- Integration with AD/LDAP, external file sources, and other tools is top-notch.
- Wide variety of "apps" (plugins).
- Large PHP single-page layout can be unwieldy.

Open source rarely outperforms the alternatives, but Nextcloud is the exception to the rule
We use Nextcloud in the whole company. It's an excellent tool to replace a team network drive, and especially for sharing files with outside users in a password-protected environment -- we use this daily. We also use additional tools such as calendars and scheduling.
- User rights
- Version management
- Scaleability
- Online editing of office documents is limited.
- Mobile phone app doesn't always sync immediately.
- Videoconferencing tools are resource intensive.

Great and easy to use encrypted file sharing of your private files with customers and clients
We're using Nextcloud mainly to offer our clients and customer a way to exchange files with our company, since other tools we use do not provide such a functionality in a convenient way. In addition we also host data there that is shared with customers / clients to review and get more support information.
The feature our customers love is the option to securely send us a file with drag & drop, without having to use other (non compliant) public services.

- App Center (Expandability)
- Slow in comparison to other solutions
- May be complex for the start since there are lots of apps and features
- May be not focusing on core topics

Great file management and collaboration software
We're a small team using it internally for project file management (formerly we used simple network shares). It's very helpful to share files with clients without having to use additional file-sharing services or sending large unwieldy files via email.
- File management anytime anywhere.
- Complete control on own hardware and infrastructure.
- Syncing could be faster on very large collections of files.
- Sync app sometimes hangs (probably due to number of files).

Nextcloud: Great Onedrive alternative!
We use Nextcloud as an alternative to OneDrive. At the current location, we have security restrictions, which prevent us from exchanging files in certain situations, with external partners, and we had to look for an alternative solution. The solution is used by several teams within the company and solved several problems.
- Share files
- Preview files
- Quick setup
- Edit files
Nextcloud is used as a core alternative for our key services: files (internal and with clients), calendars and address book, kanban (deck) for agile development, chat and edit/comment files online.
It is used across the whole organization as a central hub which operates as a bridge between departments.
It addresses the need for:
- Privacy, no activity or data are ever analysed.
- Digital sovereignty, all of our data are on a server which we control 100%.
- Single software/UI for several activities.
- Accessible also on mobile (iOs/android).
- Ease of installation/maintenance (sysadmins).
- Ease of use (users).
- File sharing (internal, public or federated).
- One software, many activities (files, address book, calendar, chat, edit, email) ...
- Groupware, sharing between users or groups is really easy and finely controlled.
- Integrations and many apps.
- Merge talk and file client apps on mobile devices.
