Users have praised the Nextcloud iOS Beta for its refreshingly simple and easy-to-navigate UI. This secure platform serves as a versatile solution for remote development and collaboration, making it an excellent tool for individuals and teams alike. With the addition of the new photos app, Nextcloud provides users with their own enterprise collaboration platform at their fingertips. Furthermore, Nextcloud serves as a front-end for external file shares, offering web-based access to files and folders for users outside the office. This feature enables seamless sharing with external parties in a password-protected environment, making it an ideal replacement for team network drives. Additionally, Nextcloud's calendar and scheduling capabilities facilitate efficient collaboration with relevant stakeholders. Users appreciate that Nextcloud serves as a core alternative to various key services, such as files, calendars, address book, kanban boards for agile development, chat functionality, and online file editing/commenting. By addressing the need for privacy and digital sovereignty through server control by the user, Nextcloud offers enhanced data security. Its single software/UI supports multiple activities and is easily accessible on mobile devices. Both sysadmins and end-users find Nextcloud easy to install, maintain, and customize for their specific needs. The granular control over user storage allows for increased security and data privacy. Another notable use case is Nextcloud's ability to foster person-to-person communication within organizations while organically onboarding new individuals, expanding the organization's presence. With its fully-featured PIM solution combined with easy file sharing and synchronization across desktop and mobile clients, Nextcloud helps streamline workflows. The product's capability to exchange files securely with clients and customers is highly valued by users who appreciate the convenience of drag-and-drop file transfer without relying on non-compliant public services. In situations where security restrictions prevent file exchange with external partners using OneDrive or other similar services, Nextcloud emerges as a trustworthy alternative. Finally, small teams benefit from using Nextcloud to manage project files and share them with clients without the need for additional file-sharing services or email, providing a simplified and efficient workflow.

Nextcloud is used as a fully flagged PIM solution (calendar, addresses, messaging) with the addition of easy file sharing. With the available desktop clients for all major operating systems and mobile clients, everything can stay in sync. As this product is open source and can be hosted on-prem, the only costs involved are resources and administration. The basic applications that come with Nextcloud offer file viewing of PDFs; if you're looking for office functions like word processing, there are various plugins.
- Contact sharing via WebDAV.
- Calendar sharing via CalDAV.
- File sharing via web browser and Nextcloud client applications (desktop and mobile).
- Sync conflicts need to be resolved manually in some cases.
- It's not very straight forward to setup versioning for files.
- Creating a preview of files sets the server under heavy load.

- Quick setup with minimal cost.
- Low maintenance cost.
- User training required for cases where manual sync conflicts need to be resolved.
PIM and file sharing are the same as you get in Google's Drive/Calendar. With extensions, you can also implement web meetings (e.g., by using Jitsi), but this comes with more administrative effort. In the end, this comes down to how big of a user/customer base you are supporting. For small enterprises, Nextcloud stacks up very well against its big competitors. At a large scale, you will have increased maintenance and resource costs which you need to check against licensing fees for the cloud providers.

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.

- Reduced costs: Cheaper than hosted alternatives if you need a lot of space.
- Professional impression on partners and clients (branding, security).
Dropbox was no longer an option due to their hosting policy. We needed an EU-based solution, preferably open source and self-hosted. There were also security leaks with Dropbox in the past. OneDrive is dreadfully slow, Nextcloud is as fast as you want it to be. On a dedicated server with 4 users, it is lightning fast.

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:

- 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.
