Hi folks, It's true some of our functionality can be rebuilt if we rewrite this functionality with SAF - even though it makes the user experience a bit worse. We have a file manager/document management app, which fits the use case

Maintaining a server can be a pita, and not upgrading frequently is both a security risk as well as problematic from a stability pov. My recommendation would be to use our All-in-One docker image. It takes care of updates and is supremely e

The Memories app is a LOT faster than the built in Photos app. I use it myself and it's quite nice, very doable on my down clocked old Intel CPU.

It's risky business, though, as code of course gets reviewed a few times (at least at Nextcloud). If it gets detected once ppl are put on notice. If somebody can squirrel out that the code came from a competitor, a lawsuit is waiting..

This is, of course, exactly what Nextcloud does. It will most certainly refuse to run and break your system. And yes, it also refused that 3-4 years ago. Not saying it never breaks anything, but since 2016 we for example check PHP versions

The good news is that neither has investors... With regards to security, nothing is perfect but I'm absolutely positive that Nextcloud is ahead of the vast majority of open source projects. And if you know of a security hole, go and co

Note that we're not backed by a a venture capital firm that needs a 10X exit, we're self-funded and have been sustainably growing ~50%/year since we got started. We're over 100 people so paying for 2 developers on Roundc

Ha, I wish. Been working on this for weeks, it's even a little annoying oC kind'a pooped on the party by having that massive security hole...

In the AIO you have to explicitly choose to install them, in the bare metal setup they are not installed unless you choose so when you install for the first time. You're right that Nextcloud has gotten bigger, but Collabora is in no wa

You might like to hear that in the upcoming release we re-wrote the front-end of Files, that'll be snappier. Hope it'll work well for you!

It'll depend on your requirements. Keep in mind that Nextcloud is the largest on-prem collab platform out there, so more users means more complaints... It is used in huge enterprise and government installations so it can definitely wor

Same here, but it's a big and complicated beast. I never lost data but then with hundreds of thousands of servers out there, somebody is bound to. Even if it's just due to bloody cosmic rays ;-)

I have good news for you: https://apps.nextcloud.com Nextcloud is nothing more than a collection of small apps. You can disable even core things like sharing.

I beg to differ and so would our over 1000 customers, none of them with less than 100 seats (we don't sell below that). Most have 1000 users or more. The largest has several tens of millions of users and they are using Global Scale. On

He, of course it is. Though, Google etc are doing a good job progressively taking control over email, they already have made running a private mail server a huge pita.

All reasonable if the company wasn't 8 years old, had 2500 employees and a turn-over of 600 million. They invested clearly near nothing in security over the last years. The extra scrutiny showed that, but it didn't CAUSE it.

You make it sound like a startup that build a piece of software quickly and forgot a few things. There are two issues with that argument. First, they put in EXTRA effort to break the security of their users. The feature of 'upon de-ins

Well, yes, but now you're saying our trust is limited because other companies do bad. But we have a pretty good reason, beyond that, to not trust Zoom - THEY clearly never gave a shit about security, given in a few weeks of people taki

They should contact us - Nextcloud GmbH. A contract with us contains all indemnification they could ever want, so it should not be an issue at all. (A)GPL is used in a countless business environments, they're tried-and-true licenses th

So both the German and French governments host Nextcloud firewalled off from the internet. Others use things like a reverse proxy (City of Geneva). Most customers just run Nextcloud internet-facing, as that is the easiest if you want to col

First of all, we forked 3 years ago and have progressed very fast since then - there is, from what I know, no code going between the two code bases since 2 years or so. Second, there is simply no reason to rewrite everything from scratch. W

Things have changed a fair bit since the early ownCloud days - you'll be hard pressed to find a large PHP app with so few security issues, and that's not me saying that but quoting a pentest firm hired by the Swiss city of Geneva

Sadly it's still in testing, but we (finally) managed to hire a 2nd developer so we're moving forward... 3rd job position is still open so if you're in C++ or know somebody who is - let them mail us!

"Although the purpose of these regulations is to limit the powers of big US Internet companies like Google or Facebook" This has been stated very explicitly by the law makers, so yeah, it wasn't hard to state that. I'm n
