Nextcloud Hub

by Nextcloud · 🇩🇪 Germany

Nextcloud Hub bundles file storage and sync, collaborative document editing, calendar, contacts, chat and video calls into one platform that organisations install on infrastructure they control. Because it is fully open source under AGPL, there is no vendor lock-in and no dependency on where a provider happens to host. It is the usual European answer to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for public bodies.

A European alternative to Google Drive, Microsoft 365, Dropbox.
