Protecting your dataThe self-hosted productivity platform that keeps you in controlYou should control your dataWe help you achieve that: a safe home for all your data. Secure, under your control and developed in an open, transparent and trustworthy way. We are Nextcloud.Nextcloud offers industry-leading on-premises file sync and online collaboration technology. Our expertise is in combining the convenience and ease of use of consumer-grade solutions like Dropbox and Google Drive with the security, privacy and control business needs.Our self-hosted solutions ensure you know where data is, who has access, and that even meta-data does not leak.Your cloud, your rulesNextcloud puts your data at your fingertips, under your control. Store your documents, calendar, contacts and photos on a server at home, at one of our providers or in a data center you trust.Nextcloud gives you access to all your files wherever you are.Where are your photos and documents? With Nextcloud you pick a server of your choice, at home, in a data center or at a provider. And that is where your files will be. Nextcloud runs on that server, protecting your data and giving you access from your desktop or mobile devices. Through Nextcloud you also access, sync and share your existing data on that FTP drive at school, a Dropbox or a NAS you have at home.Nextcloud is free, open source and you can get involved in making it better!Why self-hosting?Because your data is everywhereRight now, nearly ALL data there is about you is stored at half a dozen companies, with names changing per country (Facebook, wechat, Vk, Google, Weibo, Tencent, Microsoft). They know where you live, what you search for, who you talk to, what you buy, what you eat and --probably-- what you think.Because knowledge is powerYour data represents who you are and can easily be abused.And power gets abused. Always. Maybe by a local politician who doesn't like that you discovered his fraud. A local police woman who likes your boyfriend. A well connected businessman who likes to buy your store for cheap. A crime syndicate annoyed you try to help drug addicts kick off.Maybe you just care about privacyEven if your data isn't abused --they promise not to, right?-- isn't it nobody's business what you do?We believe privacy is a right, a foundation for democracy. And we like to help you get it back.And running your own, private Nextcloud server is the best way to get started!Why Nextcloud?ControlProtect, control and monitor data and communication across your company.
