Nextcloud

Self-hosted cloud platform for file sync, calendars, contacts, and collaborative productivity.

About

Nextcloud is a powerful self-hosted cloud platform that puts you in complete control of your data. It provides file sync and share capabilities, allowing you to access your files from desktop and mobile clients. Beyond files, Nextcloud includes an integrated suite of productivity apps: Calendar for scheduling and event management, Contacts for address book organization, Talk for chat and video conferencing, and Office for real-time document collaboration. Features include end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication, file versioning, collaborative editing, federated sharing between servers, and extensive app ecosystem. It serves as a complete Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 alternative that you fully own and control.
