Nextcloud is a fork of Owncloud, but it has grown so rapidly over the last year that many consider it the successor to Owncloud despite the fact that Owncloud is still very much up and running. If you set up your own Nextcloud instance, either self-hosted or on your personal web space (see later), then you have full access to all Nextcloud’s features. We list some popular core features below, but you can choose from over a hundred apps which hugely expand Nextcloud’s functionally. If you take the easy route and allow a Nextcloud partner to set up a fully-hosted cloud for you, then it controls which features are available to your account.
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.
Encryption at rest: Data at rest can be secured using the AES-256 server-side Encryption app, but this has severe limitations. The main problem is that the encryption key is stored alongside the data in the Nextcloud instance, a problem compounded by the fact that when used it is stored in the server’s RAM where it can be accessed by hackers or a hosted server’s operators. This problem is not helped by the fact that Nextcloud’s 30 seconds desktop synchronization schedule is very predictable and therefore provides an easy attack surface for malicious actors. As such, Nextcloud’s server-side encryption is best used to secure external storage accounts which are linked to your Nextcloud instance – such as Google Drive and Dropbox accounts.
Nextcloud gives you access to all your files wherever you are and whatever device you use. The easy web interface allows you to share files with other users on your server, to create and send password protected public links, to let others upload files to your cloud and to get notifications on your phone and desktop when a user on another cloud server shares files directly with you. And you can do all these things from the desktop or mobile clients, too. Nextcloud clients for Android, iOS and desktop systems allow you to sync and share files, in a fully secure way through an encrypted connection. The mobile clients feature automatic upload of pictures and videos you take and can synchronize select files and folders. The clients can handle multiple accounts, show all activity happening on your server and notify you of new events such as the availability of new shares.
