We're a small team using it internally for project file management (formerly we used simple network shares). It's very helpful to share files with clients without having to use additional file-sharing services or sending large unwieldy files via email.
  • File management anytime anywhere.
  • Complete control on own hardware and infrastructure.
Cons
  • Syncing could be faster on very large collections of files.
  • Sync app sometimes hangs (probably due to number of files).
Good when you have the technical expertise to set it up and manage the underlying server it runs on.

Purple Squirrel utilizes Nextcloud for scaling startups collaborating remotely

We tested the Nextcloud iOS Beta and found the UI to be refreshingly simple and easy to navigate. Nextcloud addresses remote development and collaboration for our generation with a secure and easy to use platform. With the addition of the new photos app, it's quite like having your own enterprise collaboration platform at your fingertips, without the big tech oversight. To stay focused on collaborating together without the ads, trackers, and a nice intro to get you started off on the right foot.
  • Remote collaboration platform with just the right tools.
  • Ease of access from any device, anywhere.
  • Solid templates for development teams to collaborate without distraction.
Cons
  • Nextcloud is new and relatively unknown, but with the features of enterprise solutions.
  • I'd like to see a 'vault' feature for sensitive info.
  • Potential for CRM use case with contacts.
While searching for tools to satisfy a quickly scaling online startup, we found Nextcloud is well suited for today's remote collaborative team. Nextcloud has just the right toolset for a collaborative workspace including video, chat, many file formats accepted, and intuitive user interface. Comparatively other popular tools like Trello were distracting with more features than functionality. Working with Nextcloud is much like having a workspace with all your content and tools available anywhere on any device, without the ads, distractions, and irrelevant functionality. We will continue to utilize Nextcloud as a remote workspace for evolving and scaling teams.

As a leading tourism business we need to keep the whole organization updated on what's happening and what should we do at what situation. This platform enables us to collaborate with relevant stakeholders very easily through [the] file shari[n]g option. It has made the job more collaborative and efficient.
  • File sharing and collaboration feature.
  • Reliable and secured.
  • Easy to set up and use.
  • Customizable.
Cons
  • Bit of expensive.
  • Graphical edition could improve.
  • Rest is fine with the application.
Nextcloud is well suited for those businesses which need extreme collaboration among its' employees and customers as well. The file sharing feature is just amazing w[h]ich will enable you to update yourself as well as the relevant targeted stakeholders on the ongoing and Como issues.
This application might help the small or larger business for bringing out the efficiency and productivity.

We use Nextcloud to collaborate between geographically diverse workers, utilizing a combination of its mail & document sharing, mostly, to expand our presence through person-to-person communications and onboard new individuals organically.
  • Email
  • File sharing
  • Document collaboration
Cons
  • Prefer to see integration with other tools like samba
We use the Nextcloud app to be able to have real-time communication between various entities in our organization and reach out globally to provide life-changing resources to our contacts. Most of our use is focused on directed-contacts via email and sharing support materials via the document sharing and collaboration capabilities.

Nextcloud is used as a core alternative for our key services: files (internal and with clients), calendars and address book, kanban (deck) for agile development, chat and edit/comment files online.
It is used across the whole organization as a central hub which operates as a bridge between departments.
It addresses the need for:
  • Privacy, no activity or data are ever analysed.
  • Digital sovereignty, all of our data are on a server which we control 100%.
  • Single software/UI for several activities.
  • Accessible also on mobile (iOs/android).
  • Ease of installation/maintenance (sysadmins).
  • Ease of use (users).
  • File sharing (internal, public or federated).
  • One software, many activities (files, address book, calendar, chat, edit, email) ...
  • Groupware, sharing between users or groups is really easy and finely controlled.
  • Integrations and many apps.
Cons
  • Merge talk and file client apps on mobile devices.
Nextcloud is well suited in any collaboration scenario where users wants to share comments and resources as well as organize events or work together.
It is also very well suited for non-profit organizations as it is free to use and very simple even for non-tech users.
I can't imagine scenarios where it might not be appropriate as running requirements are minimal (php, mysql) so even a single user could find benefit to use it as an alternative for basic icloud or gmail use (files with desktop and mobile clients, calendar and address book).
