Do you look for a high quality Nextcloud service with Collabora? NextFiles is a high quality , hight privacy german based cloud provider, a fast and secure Nextcloud service in a German data center with ISO 27001 certification.

Tasks, calendars, and contacts can be easily synced with Android devices using the DAVdroid app, and notes can be synced to Android using the Nextcloud Notes app. In theory, iOS apps can use WebDAV to sync calendars and tasks, and CardDAV to sync contacts, but in practice, this is a frustrating experience. Notes are, however, saved as .txt files in the regular upload by default and are therefore readily accessible from all devices. Collaboration: In addition to the sharing features mentioned above, Nextcloud users can collaborate on files using Collabora Online. This is a LibreOffice-based online office suite which supports all major document, spreadsheet, and presentation file formats.

NextCloud: A Dropbox alternative: Introduced by previous developers of ownCloud, NextCloud remains to be one of the, if not the most popular open source cloud storage software. Being open source, anyone can install NextCloud for free. The only service the user will pay for (and at a very small amount at that) is the private server in which they host it on. Now it’s apparent what some may already be thinking – “Google Drive is free to use as well”. This is true, yet both Dropbox and Google Drive still have data limits or are not entirely “private”. This is the advantage of NextCloud being a self-hosted cloud storage platform.

The biggest pull, of course, is that Nextcloud provides you with total control over how and where your files are stored. This is a big privacy win, although the fact that end-to-end encryption remains at the “trial” stage does introduce privacy concerns when using third-party (hosted) storage space. We get the strong impression that e2ee is in reality considered fairly robust even at this stage, but until a stable version is released, it is not possible to recommend for sensitive data. That said, encrypting the entire instance with something like EcnFS should provide more than enough security for most users. Setting up a fully hosted Nextcloud account is so easy that your mother could do it, and is certainly a privacy improvement over using a big name cloud service. It does, though, miss out on the real privacy benefits of running your own Nextcloud instance as it requires trusting a third-party provider to manage it for you.
