Stream media files: Nextcloud works very well as an online media streaming server. It comes with a built-in music player, and the web interface and iOS apps happily played every video we file we threw at them. All videos previewed fine in Android, but in our tests the Android app was a little fussier with what media files it would play in full-screen mode. Curiously, we also encountered occasional problems in Android even when streaming content using an external player such as VLC.

Hosting NextCloud: Setting up a Server Deploying a private server in which to host NextCloud isn’t nearly as difficult as it sounds. Because of Linux Turnkey, NextCloud has a template which automatically installs the software and all of the necessary security updates onto a VPS (Virtual Private Server). How to get a NextCloud Turnkey Installation: Nextfiles.de offers a NextCloud template for a simple 1-click installation and server deployment process. As a Dropbox alternative, NextCloud certainly steps up to the plate as a contender. It’s easy to compare NextCloud vs Dropbox because they are functionally similar and the UI is very similar. Where NextCloud mainly differs is in being an open source cloud storage solution. Using the cloud to store and share files is perhaps the earliest use case of cloud computing (looking at your email), and therefore doesn’t need a long list of exciting features to work properly. Following that principle, NextCloud does a wonderful job at making itself out to be a truly apparent alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive.

An additional problem is that only the contents of files are encrypted, not their name or folder structure. If you don’t store data on remote storage services, then it is much better to deploy per-file encryption manually before uploading to Nextcloud and/or use full disk encryption on the server drives (for example using dm-crypt or EncFS). Full disk encryption is fairly easy to implement with self-hosted cloud or self-managed cloud instances. If you have a fully-hosted account then this is out of your control, although it is something your provider may do anyway (so ask).

Nextcloud gives you access to all your files wherever you are and whatever device you use. The easy web interface allows you to share files with other users on your server, to create and send password protected public links, to let others upload files to your cloud and to get notifications on your phone and desktop when a user on another cloud server shares files directly with you. And you can do all these things from the desktop or mobile clients, too. The Nextcloud Calendar and Contacts apps allow you to store, sync and share your plans and contacts. You can share with users or groups on your server or sync the calendar or contacts with your devices and access them wherever you are. The Calendar and Contacts app feature: Easy to use interface, Private and shared calendars and addressbooks with permissions management, CalDAV and CardDAV sync with third party clients both on mobile and desktop (i.e with Thunderbird).
