Structure and usage

 

NextCloud is a Cloud Management solution with integrated Apps that aims at managing and syncing a vast array of data between connected devices. This section gives an overview of the structure of the service.

 

Host

NextCloud needs to be hosted on a server with two options available:

  1. Rent space with a service provider
  2. Selfhosting (Server, Raspberry Pi, NAS)

I selected to rent space with tab.digital

 

Services

NextCloud offers various services in what they called Apps, similar to Phone Apps:

  1. Mail
  2. Calendar
  3. Contact Management
  4. Photo
  5. Music
  6. Notes
  7. Password Management

As well as a wide array of other apps available here

In addition, NextCloud support End-2-End Encryption.
