Nextcloud is a cloud-based "file sync and share software". It offers

  • syncing of OS-based directories (Linux, Windows, macOS) with the Nextcloud server ("Desktop Sync client")
  • a browser-based desktop (the "Web interface") with various "apps" (including "groupware").

apps

  • Files: the (synchronized) files on the server
    • files can have tags and can be shared
  • Photos: organization of images
  • Activities: a log of changes that happened in the apps -- sometimes links are missing to changes, it is not possible to directly jump to them
  • Mail
  • Contacts
  • Calendars
  • Deck: Allows note-taking, hierarchical organization into deck -> board -> stack -> card
    • Card: has users, description, attachments, timeline, tags
  • viewers for videos and images
  • project: collection of items (files, chats, etc.)
