Pros

“Easily managed and basic restrictions are set for user access with secure data transfer. If the SSL certificate is not valid, the SFTP url will be down and not accessible.”

Joshua O.

Infrastructure Engineer

“The user interface is intuitive and there is a lot more functionality than we require.”

Mark C.

Technical Director

“The user interface is very simple to use and the product has a lot of functionality.”

Pros

“Nextcloud is the top self-hosted file software for return on investment”

Derek G.

Owner

“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!”
