Overall Satisfaction with Nextcloud

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
  • Allow do share files and folders again.
  • Cost almost zero, except by server.
  • Quick and easy setup.
I'm comparing, but it wasn't a problem for me, because I couldn't use it because of the security of the company that manages our Office 365. But, both allow practically the same options, they are fast, among others. Maybe Office 365 handles the Word, Excel, etc. files better, for obvious reasons, but other than that, I see that Nextcloud is very good too.

Yes

Did implementation of Nextcloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Nextcloud again?

Yes

It’s great as an alternative to OneDrive when you can’t fully use Office 365. For example, sharing files with other people, with groups, setting the expiration date and password for the files. And, about less recommended scenarios, honestly, I don't see any. Perhaps, only the configuration time, which is longer than a SaaS option.
