the future of private cloud sync and share, collaboration and coffee machines
summary
Nextcloud claims a complete, self‑hosted alternative to Dropbox/Google Drive: file sync/share plus calendar, contacts, music, password manager, collaborative editing via Collabora Online, and WebRTC audio/video calls. It ships as open‑source GPL server with 50+ apps, federated sharing, storage encryption, brute‑force protection, two‑factor and hardware keys, and a €5,000 bug‑bounty. Releases 9→11 add security, performance and sharing granularity; Nextcloud Box (Raspberry Pi image) lowers the install barrier and thousands sell. Live demo has some broken bits but core features work.
