"Complete Data Ownership, Privacy, and Powerful File Sync & Sharing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nextcloud?

The best thing I like about this platform is that it gives me complete data ownership and privacy, and provides greater transparency into my data security. Their strong file sync and sharing capabilities are very effective. This platform is also synced with an active open source community and hence with a large app ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nextcloud?

Their initial setup is a bit difficult on the self-hosting part. Their performance depends mostly on server configuration. Even though their UI is clean, but still less polished than compared to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Full Control Cloud, Flexible but Demands Maintenance"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Nextcloud?

, it’s surprisingly full-featured. You get file sync (like Dropbox), collaborative editing (like Google Docs), calendar, contacts, video calls, and even extensions through its app ecosystem—all in one place. And since it’s open-source, you can customize it heavily or integrate it with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nextcloud?

Performance can be inconsistent. Out of the box, it can feel slow—especially with larger file libraries or multiple users. You often need to tune things (caching, database, PHP settings, Redis, etc.) to get it running smoothly. Compared to something like Google Drive, it’s not “fast by default.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure File Sharing Made Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nextcloud?

I use Nextcloud for securely storing and sharing files within my team. I find it easy to share and upload files, which is really convenient. I also think the default readme rendering on each folder gives us an abstract idea of what the folder contains. The initial setup was pretty easy, which I appreciate.
