A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud
-
It would be nice if they could offer alternatives for individuals with prices comparable to those of Hetzner Storage Share (which is based on NC). Somewhat, I feel every other NC hosting solution is way more expensive per GB.
The Hetzner Storage Share lacks a lot of features that Nextcloud IONOS have. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Hetzner has an office suite for Nextcloud?

Oh shit
This will undoubtedly have a major impact against Microsoft and even perhaps Google.
AI-powered productivity features.
Everything is pretty sweet except ^the AI productivity features. Hopefully the AI portions are optional opt-ins rather than it being preincluded opt-outs.
It’s all just part of their addons, so you choose yourself if you want AI. You can even choose to have local AI, if you don’t want to use an external AI, which I believe is ChatGPT.

I didn't check it, tbh. Unluckily, I need almost perfect compatibility with MS Office for my job (shared documents). You're most likely right.

Hey, I had been searching for a reasonably priced NC hosting for a while. I even considered a VPS from Hetzner but somehow didn't find this. Thanks for pointing it out.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Glad to have helped. The only issue I may have with it is that the web frontend feels a bit slow, but O mainly use it as a file sync service, so it doesn't bother me too much.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I use storage share and I havent found it lacking in anything. You can install an onlyoffice app to get office. Some people complain about it for various reasons, and apparently it can be unstable though
Another thing I expected not to work was the face recognition app but it worked perfectly

Kinda sounds awful honestly.
I do use nextcloud for my small team. It's the best of the selfhosted file sync platforms.
That said, it's obscenely over engineered.
Who ever wanted a file sync platform that also does calendaring and contacts?

Most O365 & exchange users? If you just want file sync, this isn't for you. If you want a collaborative (online) office suite that can also sync files, it is. It's meant to be able to replace the whole O365 stack, which includes Outlook.
You can also just not use that part, or any part you don't need. This is basic NC functionality that has been there for a very long time, so why shouldn't it be part of the package?

I'm wondering what will happen to openXchange which ionos is using currently and is afaik also holding parts of. It does exactly the same.

It's an alternative, but IONOS honestly fucking sucks as well, so I'm feeling pretty ambivalent about this.

I might be wrong, but it sounds like hosted nextcloud, not a completely new platform.

No, you have to complain about them. It's the law.

Nextcloud is so slow and brittle, I can’t imagine scaling

Nextcloud isn't a 365 competitor?
It's filesync with contacts and calendar.
Even once you build in documents and spreadsheets, 365 at least has separate applications for that - its not a single overblown behemoth.

Well if I uninstaller them what would i complain about?

You're in a thread about it being used as one, so that argument is worthless.

Sure that's why I drive my 4wd anywhere i want to go - i don't want or need 4wd but I can just not use that functionality.
Sorry what office suite is basic NC functionality that has been there for a long time?
