    WHAT IS NEXTCLOUD

    Nextcloud is the leading open-source self-hosted file sync, share and collaboration platform - a PHP 8 web application served by Nginx with PHP-FPM and MariaDB, backed by Redis for session and file-locking caches. The bundled feature set covers file sync via desktop and mobile apps, end-to-end and server-side encryption, shared links and password-protected drops, calendar (CalDAV), contacts (CardDAV), email (Mail), notes, deck (project management), and Nextcloud Talk video conferencing - plus 100+ optional apps from the community store. A drop-in self-hosted alternative to Google Drive, Dropbox and Microsoft 365 for GDPR-sensitive teams and regulated industries. AGPL-3.0 license - no per-user fees, no vendor lock-in, all data inside your tenant.
