Nextcloud Files is the core of platform and it allows your users to access, synchronize, edit and share their documents from any device.
Key features of Nextcloud Files are:
- Access the files from any device: browser; generic WebDAV client; desktop client for Windows, Linux and macOS; mobile client for Android (and derivatives) and iOS.
- Edit text and office files (Microsoft and Libreoffice formats) from any device and in a collaborative manner, with an advanced locking and confict-prevention mechanism.
- Organize your files as you wish in your private area or define team-wide folders with advanced access control.
- Share files and folders easily with a wide range of options: share with user, public link, share by email, share with group, federated share (user on another Nextcloud server).
- Protect your shares with a password and an expiration date, optionally enforced server-wide.
- Search and filter your files using advanced criteria such as sharing status, date of modifications, tags and the Favorite property.
- Tagging, versioning, comments and detailed activity are available for advanced document handling.
The service operator would be also interested in these security and operations highlights:
- Rely on a LAMP-like stack for your platform operations.
- Scale the application via clustering and, for very-large instances, via Global Scale.
- Manage user and group-based storage quota graphically.
- Give users read-write or read-only access to pre-existing storage systems in Nextcloud, thanks to the External Storage subsystem.
- Delegate administration privileges only on the configuration sections that should be administered by someone else.
- Manage group-based sharing policies, leading to a very granular control on what the users can do on the server.
- Secure your users files on a third-party primary storage provider thanks to Server-side Encryption.
- Let your users secure their most sensitive data via End-to-end Encryption.
