Nextcloud Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about Nextcloud is that it's free. I was previously a paying customer of Google One, but I decided to switch to Nextcloud for my cloud storage needs, using my own NAS as the physical storage. This change has worked well for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI of the client on the Mac IOS client needs to be more polished, maybe its just me who is too picky on the looks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This German open source cloud storage and collaboration system stands out for its high quality and the ability to host it on your own private server. The setup process is easy, especially if you choose third-party server providers like Good Cloud or Tab Digital. The platform integrates smoothly with Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, so you can access it from any major device. It brings together tools for working collaboratively on files, photos, calendars, tasks, contacts, and even email, providing a comprehensive solution for teamwork.

The app does not recognize .heic images as photos, which is inconvenient. Additionally, when using a third-party cloud service, it is not possible to use the same account across multiple devices. Free accounts from Tab Digital are also limited to 8GB, which feels quite restrictive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the level of control and privacy that Nextcloud offers. Being able to self-host and manage data on my own infrastructure gives a lot of flexibility. The file sharing and sync features are reliable and easy to use. I'm also a fan of the plugin ecosystem and integrations, especially for things like calendar, contacts, and document collaboration. It's easy to extend the platform based on my needs, and the community support along with regular updates helps to keep the software improving over time. The API support and integration options are very useful, making it easy to connect Nextcloud with other tools and automate workflows, which fits well into an existing system.

One of the best things about NextCloud is the ability to self-host. This allows for data sovereignty while using excellent services on par with any other cloud service provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting it up for a small group is difficult in the beginning. Ensuring all the users and roles are set up and all permissions are correct, takes time. I'd prefer if it had pre-made templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Nextcloud is the control and transparency it gives over data. Unlike many cloud providers, it allows full ownership of files while offering the same smooth collaboration features—file sharing, calendar, chat, and video meetings—all in one platform. Its open-source nature makes it highly customizable and secure, and the integration with on-premise storage is seamless. It’s a perfect solution for organizations that value privacy and digital sovereignty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nextcloud gives us full control over our data without sacrificing usability or collaboration. I especially appreciate how easy it is to integrate with existing infrastructure—LDAP, SSO, storage backends—and the flexibility to customize permissions and workflows across teams. The mobile and desktop sync clients are reliable, and the web interface is intuitive even for non-technical users. For IT admins, the logging, monitoring, and update mechanisms are transparent and efficient. It’s a solid solution for organizations that value privacy, scalability, and open standards.

The on-premise version is somewhat tedious to install and configure. It would be much better if the process were automated and could be completed with a single click. Additionally, it tends to use a lot of memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
