r/NextCloud

Hey everyone,
I’m part of an internal working group at a healthcare provider with around 9,000 employees (roughly 500 of them in non-medical administration), and we’re currently having some pretty serious discussions about whether we could replace Microsoft 365 entirely with Nextcloud.
More specifically, we’re looking at:
Nextcloud Talk instead of Teams
Collabora or OnlyOffice instead of Word/Excel/PowerPoint
possibly Nextcloud Mail for internal communication instead of Outlook/Exchange
The main driver is honestly cost. The M365 licenses alone for our administrative staff add up to a significant amount every year. On top of that, GDPR and general data protection concerns are a major factor — especially in healthcare, where US-based cloud services tend to be viewed much more critically.
I’d really be interested to hear if anyone here has gone through a similar transition and could share some real-world experience.
Especially:
Has anyone actually replaced M365 completely with Nextcloud? How did it go?
Is Nextcloud Talk realistically usable as a day-to-day Teams replacement, or do you run into limitations quickly?
How well do Collabora or OnlyOffice work as substitutes for Word/Excel in practice? Where are the real pain points?
How did you handle user adoption? Telling people “we’re taking away Teams and Outlook” usually doesn’t go over particularly well 😅
Are there any healthcare-specific pitfalls we should be aware of? For example integrations with clinical systems, scheduling/on-call tools, and similar things?
We’re still very much in the early discussion phase, so honest opinions — including “don’t do it” experiences — are absolutely welcome.
Thanks in advance!

I have it on my home server and on my iphone. When I try to use the app off my home wlan, Nextcloud Notes basically *refuses* to let me see or edit my notes even when I have saved them locally like by syncing before I leave my house. This is dog shit functionality that the app completely locks down my notes without a connection to the server, rather than letting me view them offline and later resynchronizing.

Has anyone vibe coded a workaround for this? Key info, I am not going to expose my home server to link it with my phone when I am away from home.

I'm running Nextcloud and Collabora in 2 Dockercontainers and everytime my ip-address at home (due to f.e. a power disruption) I won't be able to edit documents. Previous times I found that editing coolwsd.xml sometimes solves it, but today I can't get it working. I'm not using the builtin-code-server as that one isn't and wasn't also working. Nextcloud can connect to my own collabora-server, and I have put the new ip-address in wopi-allowedlist but still without success. Also in Cloudflare I whitelisted the new ip-address.

Is there a more easy way to solve this no matter if the ip-address changes in the future? As it's costing me everytime a few hours to dig and solve, even when I remember what the solution for last time was.

Both are behind Zoraxy reverse proxy. And if I enter collabora.mydomain.com in the webbrowser it gives an OK.

Update: solved. I had to modify config.php in nextcloud to add my ip-address to the trusted proxies. And also added collabora.mydomain.nl to trusted_domains.

Hello,

I've becomed very frustrated with Nextcloud during the last few months.

I have my work files on my office computer that sync to a nextcloud self hosted server (docker on an unraid NAS) and my home computer has nextcloud installed with virtual files enabled. Both my computers are on Windows 11.

Since a few months, it's driving me crazy, Nextcloud doesn't sync subfolders.
If I work on a new project, I do a new folder on my work computer and on my home computer, that folder appears as stored "in the cloud only".
Now if I right click to apply to always save it locally, nextcloud syncs, then says it's done.
If I enter the folder, most subfolders are not synced.

https://preview.redd.it/u9x2kvoxwa2h1.png?width=510&format=png&auto=webp&s=64f11b36733dff56ef6d9452156c5baa12ac7696

I have to, one by one, subfolder by subfolder, unclick always keep locally and reapply it. And Wait. If I do that on multiple subfolders at different places, it syncs one and just doesn't care about the other one.
For every single subfolder. As It's automatic folders created by a software, there are dozens of them, so I loose lot of time just waiting for each subfolder to sync, de-apply / re-apply manually on an other folder, wait, etc.

What's weird is we can see the tag is properlly propagated to the subfolders, but Nextcloud desktop seems to ignore it.

With that, I noticed a few other weird behaviors :

1. I cannot rename a file until Nextcloud has fully synced it. It wasn't the case a few years ago. But seeing now my dropbox app does the same thing, maybe it's a change of policy on windows' side ?
2. If Nextcloud desktop is not running, I can't access the folder on my computer. It gives me an error "cloud server is not running", like the files locally here "don't belong to me".
3. When I ask Nextcloud to sync a "cloud only" folder, if I check the properties of that folder, it states a certain number of files, with a size of x gB, taking 0 ko of space locally. After the sync, the space used locally is the same as it should. But if I enter the folder, go to one of the subfolder that didn't sync and go back checking the properties of the main folder, it now states a higher number of files, with a bigger size, and that the local space used is only what it synced before.

So it seems that there is something very wrong here. I didn't find similar issues on the web.

Thanks for your help.

Edit 2: I just tried, if I unfold all the folder manually in the left pane, re-right click on the main folder, now always store locally is unchecked and if I click it, it seems to sync the entire folder. So something prevents the win explorer / nextcloud to access subfolder to propagate the tags ?

When I'm here at home, I want to connect to my Nextcloud instance by connecting to the IP address of the server, rather than by using the domain name and taking a long path to reach the server that's literally at my feet. I found that I had to add an overwritecondaddr line to make it work.

One problem fixed, another created.

Although I could now connect successfully by IP, whenever I tried to connect to NC through my domain (Cloudflare reverse proxy), I couldn't move from the login screen without reloading the page. This was the case whether I tried from a computer inside or outside my home network.

Next, I experimented with the trusted proxies in config.php.

I added the IP of my Cloudflared instance. Whether this was correct, or I'm just lucky, I can now log in successfully using either the direct IP or the domain name, as long as I'm on my home network.

Logging in from outside the home network remains a problem. I have to enter my login creds, then refresh the page, before I'm on my home NC screen. This is the last part I haven't been able to overcome. Can someone share some advice on possible steps to fix this?

Hi,

Since recently, the Guests App stopped sending invitation emails when I share a folder with an external email address. The guest account gets created, but no email arrives and the guest has no way to set a password.

The log shows:
"No password token found for guest "user@example.com", skipping invitation email"

I also noticed that the setting "Use a hash of the email address as user ID for better privacy" in the Guests App config got turned on by itself, probably after an update. And now I can't turn it off anymore through the GUI, the toggle seems to be stuck.

Not sure if that's related, but the timing lines up.

Things I already tried:
- Disabling and re-enabling the Guests App
- Manually sending a welcome email via Settings → Users (works fine)

This affects every new guest, not just one specific address. Nothing was changed on the server before this started happening.

Running NC 33.0.2.2, Guests App 4.7.2

Anyone else seeing this?

Update: I just tested inviting a guest via the + button in the top right of Contacts. Same dialog, same fields and the welcome email went out without any issues.
So the problem seems to be specific to creating a guest from within the folder sharing dialog. When the guest account is created that way, no invitation email is sent. Via Contacts it works fine.

Hey r/Nextcloud,

Like many of you, I host my recipes using Nextcloud Cookbook. But the mobile experience was frustrating me: the existing apps haven't seen updates in a while, and the offline support wasn't completely fitting my needs when cooking in places with bad Wi-Fi.

So, I spent the last few months scratching my own itch and built AvoCook.

It’s a 100% free and open-source mobile client. My main goal was to make the offline experience seamless. It uses a local SQLite database, meaning you can browse your recipes, edit them, or even create new ones entirely offline. Everything goes into a sync queue and pushes back to your Nextcloud instance when your connection returns.

Other core features:

• Direct parsing of recipe websites (JSON-LD schema.org).
• Screen-awake toggle while cooking.
• Dark mode and adaptive UI (Glassmorphism on iOS, clean Material on Android).

My PR to be added to the official Cookbook README was just accepted, so I'm super excited to share it with the community today!

Hi all,

I'm looking for advice on a self-hosted photo/video setup that can replace iCloud Photos as much as possible. I'm open to paid cloud (Google Photos ~$20/2TB) but I'd rather stay DIY on my own hardware if the UX isn't hopeless.

My setup

• Raspberry Pi 5, 16 GB RAM, Docker
• Clients: iPhone, MacBook, Safari (Chrome doesn't matter to me)
• Just migrated from Apple Photos: export ~90 GB / ~6,200 files → uploaded via Immich CLI
• Most videos: 1080p60, often HDR from iPhone; I don't need 4K and I don't want unnecessary downscaling to 720p
• Metadata must be preserved (bad experience moving libraries to OneDrive in the past)

What I've done (Immich)

• Upload + background jobs (thumbnails, ML, face detection) completed
• Video transcoding queue was huge — on a Pi it's very slow (HEVC encode, HDR, etc.)
• Rough settings direction: accept H.264 + HEVC, target 1080p HEVC, CRF ~28, policy closer to "only when needed"; HDR still seems to force transcodes
• Ignoring .aae on upload; keeping .xmp sidecars

What I actually want (and Immich doesn't seem to offer)

The iCloud Photos model:

• Mac: full originals / normal library experience
• iPhone: don't store the entire library locally (optimize storage)
• No duplicate full library in Apple Photos on the Mac if I can avoid it
• Offline on Mac matters; on iPhone mostly on-demand or selected albums

Immich feels like server + client, not a system photo library. Full offline of the entire library on Mac without a second copy of files doesn't seem realistic in the same way as iCloud.

Considering: Nextcloud + Memories?

• Looks nice; claims Live Photos support (better than official Nextcloud Photos?)
• Mac: synced folder = real files locally (I already keep most of my export offline)
• Questions:
  1. Does Memories handle iOS Live Photos reliably in practice (HEIC + motion)?
  2. On iOS, is there anything like Optimize Storage (thumbnails on phone, full files on Mac), or does "available offline" always mean full file size and eat storage?
  3. On RPi5, is Nextcloud + Memories + previews/transcoding worse than Immich?
  4. Is there another self-hosted stack that gets closer to iCloud's "one library, smart mobile storage"?

Paid alternative (context)

Google Photos tier pricing is tempting for convenience, but I like control/privacy and already invested in self-hosting.

What would you do?

• Stay on Immich (+ Syncthing/Nextcloud only as a file mirror)?
• Move to Nextcloud + Memories?
• Hybrid?
• Or is iCloud/Google simply the only sane UX for "optimize iPhone, full Mac"?

Thanks — especially if you've run Immich or Memories on a Pi with HDR iPhone video and care about Live Photos.

hi

is it just me or the calendar app broke on the last update?

until the last update i could add categories to new events, but now if I try to add a category (predefined from the list or a custom one) it immediately disappears from the input field.

very annyoing and breaks my use-case.

(also: is it possible to add attendees to calendar events without automatically requesting reply?)

everything is updated to the latest version (os, NC, apps, etc.)

Hi all,

Current setup

I'm currently running a Nextcloud AIO setup on my Fedora based server/tv connected emulator box using the following drive setup.:

• /root:M2NVME 256GB drive: Holds homedir/applications/...
• /mnt/wdblue: WD 2TB SSD: Holds main Nextcloud datadirectory. Standard upload location.
• /mnt/seagate: Seagate 2TB HD: Holds the borg backup from the Nextcloud installation.

This was my original setup but after using this for a bit and slowly expanding my server to include a Jellyfin setup (from an external 3TB USB drive) as well it already comes time to expand since I'm quickly running out of room and don't want to be messing with combining older USB drives (which is still on NTFS as well O_O)

My upgrade plan:

I want to replace the 2 2TB drives with 2 8TB Seagate Ironwolf hard drives, while leaving the 2TB SSD in place for general local usage.
These 2 8TB will be put in a DAS connected to the server over USB 3.2

Read over the AIO faq on the Github page but some things are just extremely unclear and vague so here are some questions before I actually start

/root: Will remain the same and unchanged.
Is this where the database for NC lives? Or does this also exist in my main "data directory"?

Nextcloud's datadir is getting stored in the /mnt/wdblue_2tb_ssd/nextcloud directory. See the NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR documentation on how to change this.

As for the migration of the 2TB hard drives, what is the best procedure?
Do I do an rsync from 2TB SSD --> 8TB HD to mirror the entire data directory, restart docker and set new data directory location when restarting the mastercontainer?

Do I do the same for the 2TB HD (Borg backup)? Just rsync and mirror it completely? Do I just let it build a new backup?
I looked at the faq again and see a very long explanation how to do this borg backup to a seperate hard drive with an entire scripts which I don't remember at all setting up originally. Is it not possible natively to make a seperate location for these borg backups?

Thanks for the help and input.

Hello,

sometimes when I search for a file, I want to find out in which location this file is stored. This is not shown anywhere, including the details on the right.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? As I am working in an organisation with a lot of files and directories, this is quite essential.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have been using and enjoying Nextcloud for half a year now, installed using the aio.

I am using other services as well, and I started looking into how to properly do the off-site backup.

For now, I am using the built-in borg backup for nextcloud, which forces me to use almost double the storage needed. I am currently backing up on the same drive, as I currently don't have the means to get a secondary drive.

I have a free offer to use 5tb of google drive for half a year, so for the time being I am going to use it as an off-site solution using restic.

Here is my dilemma:

Should I disable borg backup and only use restic to backup everything (of course it first shuts down docker and then backs up the files, databases, and even the docker containers/volumes)? This saves space and allows for easy specific file restore.

Or should I keep using borg backup and have restic back up both the backup made by borg and the raw files? This allows for easier full nextcloud restore, but wastes space.

I am interested in hearing what do you all use and what's normally done in such situations?

Thanks a lot

​Hey everyone,

​I'm hitting a wall with a very specific Nextcloud issue on my self-hosted setup and need some advanced eyes on it. The Nextcloud web interface works flawlessly (both desktop and mobile browser can download files perfectly), but the Nextcloud Android app completely refuses to download files, while paradoxically being able to upload its own app logs.

​- The Setup & Environment

​Server OS: Ubuntu/Debian based Linux Mint

​Deployment: Docker / Docker Compose (nextcloud-app-1, nextcloud-db-1)

​Networking: Accessing remotely via a Tailscale VPN

​Nextcloud Version: latest i can run

​-Timeline & Trigger Events

​The server was deployed on this hardware (Acer laptop) and was working fine initially.

​I downloaded and enabled additional apps directly through the WebUI, specifically Collabora Online (Built-in CODE) and Whiteboard.

​During this process, I encountered application/database ID mismatch issues which forced me to manually skip IDs/app-validation flags to successfully complete the Nextcloud upgrade.

​Shortly after these application upgrades and database schema adjustments, the Android client must have broke down.

​-What the Nextcloud Android App Logs Show

​I exported the app logs immediately after a failed download attempt, and noticed a few critical errors:

​The WebDAV/Download Workers fail: The worker initializes a download stream for files (e.g., a .docx university document), but throws an immediate execution exception.

​HTTP 404 on Assets: The app is repeatedly throwing 404 Not Found when attempting to fetch previews and thumbnails (/core/preview), despite the file existing on disk.

​The log shows the app repeatedly initializing under an "anonymous@nohost" scheme before transitioning to the authenticated user, indicating a possible token/handshake fragmentation error as far i can guess.

​Network Eligibility-> Logs throw a ConnectivityServiceImpl; cannot check network status, connectivity is not eligible warning when parsing the Tailscale connection.

​❌️ Everything I've Tried So Far (That didn't work at the end)

​i have spent hours debugging the server-side logic and verified the actual data is healthy, ruling out basic permission/storage errors:

​File Cache & Storage Verification: Ran php occ files:scan --all. Nextcloud successfully indexes all 599 files with 0 errors. A curl request inside the server terminal pulls the file via WebDAV perfectly.

​Database Clears: Purged oc_bruteforce_attempts, oc_ratelimit_entries, and dropped the oc_filecache table for the user before rescanning to regenerate clean internal IDs.

​Session Purges: Executed php occ user:auth-tokens:delete to force-kill all active security tokens.

​Config.php Tweaks: * Explicitly set overwritehost and overwrite.cli.url to match the Tailscale IP and port exactly.

​Whitelisted the Tailscale subnet: 'auth.bruteforce.whitelist' => array('IP')

​Added Docker gateways to trusted_proxies.

​Client-Side Wipes: Performed multiple full uninstalls, deep cleared Android Storage/Cache, and disabled Android Private DNS.

​❓ The Problem

​If curl can pull the file from the WebDAV endpoint and the server is perfectly healthy, why is the Android client specifically failing with an unhandled exception or rate-limiting error?

​Did the Collabora/Whiteboard integration inject database or middleware changes that break raw HTTP data streams to mobile clients? Is Android aggressively blocking the internal download engine over an unencrypted non-standard Tailscale port (:PORT), even though it lets the app send log payloads?

​Appreciate any insight or advanced troubleshooting ideas you guys have

PS: indeed i wrote some of this with ai, mostly because i dont understand WHY the specific issues happen and i'd rather have it write the error down exactly than me describe it bad.

Hi Nextclouders !

How do you serve your Nextcloud service? Do you keep it behind VPN, Tailscale etc, or do you have it open to the internet? If the latter, how do you host it and what guardrails do you have on the edge?

Noob following a guide on setting up Nextcloud on my DH4300 Plus through the NAS docker UI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ1LWRNfBKM . I noted that there were some things I had to change on the .yaml. I had to create a separate .env file for the creds and the NAS IP (won't post those for obvious reasons lol).

What gives?

So for a variety of reasons, mostly family photo sharing with users who prefer this or that cloud platform, I’m looking for a solution to sync multiple clouds together.

Apple, Google Photos, OneDrive and own/nextcloud.

I’m wondering if there is some next cloud solution or another third-party self hosted application that I haven’t heard of yet that might help facilitate this.

There saas solution for the course, but I haven’t found a self hosted option.

Hi all,

A few weeks ago, I posted here in the Nextcloud community to discuss why the Nextcloud ecosystem still does not have a dedicated Calendar app on mobile. The feedback was very useful, and we decided to move forward and release an MVP.

This project originally started from a client need, which is why we decided to push it further.

This is not an official Nextcloud app, and it may not be fully aligned with the native Nextcloud stack, but we chose to build it with React Native and Expo in order to keep maintenance simple and support both Android and iOS from a single codebase.

The app is currently in beta testing with a few clients. One of the main gaps we identified in the ecosystem was the lack of a dedicated app to manage calendars and create events with Talk integration, so we built one. The goal is to make it easier to manage your calendar and upcoming meetings within the same ecosystem.

This app is not intended to replace native calendar apps like Apple Calendar on iOS. It focuses more on Nextcloud services and integration.

We also plan to discuss with the Nextcloud teams the possibility of integrating this app into the official ecosystem, and we would be interested in maintaining it long-term. We hope the Nextcloud core team will be open to this initiative. If some of them see this post, feel free to reach us.

Roadmap:

• Push notification integration
• Security improvements
• Better data loading and synchronization
• Gestures and UX improvements in the calendar view
• QR code authentication: scan your Nextcloud login QR code to authenticate without typing credentials

Feel free to test it, share feedback, and open issues.

The Android production version is currently under review on Google Play Console. The iOS version is already available on the Apple Store. For those who want access to beta builds, feel free to contact us. All information is available in the GitHub README.

I am very new to nextcloud, but I am trying to set up some password protected directories. I want to use the mobile app for nextcloud, but I don't want my phone to see everything on nextcloud, I dont want my taxes, medical docs, etc to be so easily accessible on my phone. Is there a way to lock the folders or block them from being access on mobile phones?

Hey guys,

Saw NC as a very affordable option on Hetzner. I do some freelance client work on the side and it occasionally demands some document collaboration. Is Nextcloud OK for that?

On the personal side I’d be using mostly for photo backup for family.

Is it a reliable choice in 2026?

P.s.: being in the eu is one of the main perks
