“Setting up my 2TB NAS drive into ownCloud & configuring my partitions exclusively for work & personal use proved to be an unchallenging task.”

Mohammad M.

Technical Office Engineer

“In general it is a very good tool to manage files between the company and the clients. And thus always have the files in real time both on our side and on the client's side.”

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!”
