Nextcloud by CompuFreak IT offers the industry-leading, content collaboration platform.

Our technology combines the convenience and ease of use of consumer-grade solutions like Dropbox and Google Drive with the security, privacy and control business needs at a fraction of the cost. Starting at just R75 per user per month (250GB). We also offer solutions for small businesses starting at just R750 for up to 20 users (*unlimited storage)

• We support most file extensions and media types – but Movies, TV Shows, Torrents and abuse will not be tolerated.

Our key differentiators

Putting IT back in control

As a vendor of on-premises solutions, Nextcloud puts the customer in control over their data in the most literal and direct sense. Your data is in your data center, on a server managed by you, rather than floating somewhere in the cloud.

Our products integrate powerful capabilities to control and monitor data exchange and communication, including our unique File Access Control and workflow features, extensive audit logs, fine-grained sharing controls and more.

Security first

Security is Nextcloud customers’ greatest concerns and our prime advantage over competitors. Nextcloud features a host of unique, innovative security technologies from brute force protection to advanced server side and integrated end-to-end, client side encryption with enterprise-grade key handling and a wide range of security hardenings. Our security has been reviewed by trusted third parties and is backed by a USD 5000 Security Bug Bounty Program, providing the confidence that data meant to stay private will stay private.

User Focus

At Nextcloud, we believe that an open, transparent development process and a clear focus on the needs of users and customers results in a better product.

By working in the open within and with the wider developer- and user community, development is sped up, quality improved and alignment with needs of users improved.

Our unique approach to support gives customers what no other vendor can offer: direct access to core Nextcloud engineering expertise without a layer of support people between the customer and the knowledge they need. Learn more on opensource.com.

Main features in the latest release of Nextcloud.

1. Video Verification [Security Feature]

When you share your files and documents with others on the web, there is always a chance that someone else will intercept that information. Nextcloud 14 allows you to video chat with the person you plan to share your information with, to make sure that they are who they say they are.

2. Improved 2-Factor Authentication [Security Feature]

2-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a common method of protecting access to your information. Instead of just relying on a password, 2FA requires a second form of digital verification. Nextcloud 14 now supports the use of “the secure messaging apps Signal and Telegram” and SMS to verify your identity.

3. Collaboration

Nextcloud allows you to edit or comment on files shared with you. Now, if you accidentally delete a file that has been shared with you, you can easily recover it. Files can also be shared with groups on other Nextcloud servers using federation.

4. Group Communication

Video calling has been a big feature of Nextcloud and received some work.

• Join without Camera or Microphone
• Join multiple chats in different browser tabs at the same time
• Conversations can be pinned to the top of the conversation list
• Chat works without requesting Camera/Microphone
• Participants can be @mentioned in the chat now
• Display number of unread chat messages + special highlight when you got mentioned in the conversation list
• System chat messages (basically inline activity stream for the respective conversation)

5. Improved Server Management

The system administrator tools have been improved, as well. The user management system was optimized to support a larger number of users. The update process has been improved to show administrators what changes will be made by the updater and if there are updates to the installed apps.

6. Privacy Compliance

Nextcloud 14 is compliant with the European GDPR and the upcoming California Consumer Privacy Act. Release 14 includes a “Data Protection Confirmation app and separate audit log file”. Between the available Nextcloud applications and the included documentation, enterprises can very easily make sure that they are compliant with the current privacy regulations.
