Posted On Nov 16 2019

Do you look for a good quality Nextcloud service with Recovery Service? NextFiles is a high quality , hight privacy german based cloud provider, a fast and secure Nextcloud service in a German data center with ISO 27001 certification.

Installing Nextcloud on rented web space is fairly easy. Not as easy as a fully hosted solution (see below), but much easier than installing on a self-hosted Linux box. The main concern is that files will not be encrypted by default at rest on the server. The server provider might encrypt its drives, but it will have the encryption keys and so can itself access data stored on them. You can, however, implement additional encryption measures as discussed later in this review.

Looking for a Dropbox alternative? Cloud storage isn’t a hard service to come by in recent times. However, some of these platforms come with unseen limitations. For instance, your data is never truly “private” when storing it with a larger platform. Given that companies like Google are rumored to have the authority to access its user’s data, this can raise red flags for many. Albeit when it comes to privacy, it’s not a subject that should be overlooked. The purpose of self-hosted cloud storage is not to prove its superiority, but rather provide a competitive alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive. And within this open source cloud storage solution, a way for users to have more control over their hosted data.

If you intend to use Nextcloud to store sensitive data then it is advisable to familiarize yourself with how different countries’ privacy and surveillance landscape. Performing your own encryption (see below), though, can heavily mitigate against any dangers presented by the jurisdiction your data is stored in. Nextcloud GmbH collects some anonymous website usage statistics, but its apps send no information to the company. It is worth noting, though, that third-party apps abide by their own privacy policies, for which Nextcloud GmbH is not responsible.
