Nextcloud

A self-hosted file hosting and collaboration platform.

Nextcloud provides file storage, calendar, contacts, online office editing (via the Nextcloud Office app integrating with Collabora or OnlyOffice), video calls (Talk), and chat from a single self-hosted server. It is a forked descendant of ownCloud, started in 2016 when Frank Karlitschek (ownCloud's founder) and many of the core developers left to start Nextcloud GmbH.

The application catalogue covers hundreds of apps: two-factor authentication providers, password managers, RSS readers, photo galleries, social-media-like activity streams, mail clients, and many more. The "Hub" branding refers to Nextcloud's pitch as an integrated workspace replacement for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

Nextcloud is the most widely deployed self-hosted file/groupware server. Major adopters include the German federal administration, the Government of Sweden, several universities, and many medium-sized businesses that prefer to keep collaboration data on infrastructure they control. AGPL-3.0 keeps the server fully open.
