Nextcloud
EU alternative from Germany 🇩🇪
Description
Nextcloud is a German-based open-source collaboration suite designed as a privacy-first alternative to services like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Slack. Beyond secure file storage and sharing, it offers groupware features such as email, calendars, contacts, task management, and real-time collaboration. Integrated apps like Nextcloud Talk enable video conferencing and chat (a possible alternative to Slack), while OnlyOffice or Collabora Online provide full document editing within the browser (an alternative to Google Docs). Nextcloud offers self-hosting or EU-managed cloud options.
Nextcloud is headquartered in Germany, an EU member state. This places it under the EU's data protection regime, including the GDPR, and outside the reach of non-EU government data-access laws such as the US CLOUD Act.
