As has become a bit of a tradition, let's look at what's new in Nextcloud in 2023! 3 releases again, with tons of improvements all over.

A quick overview: bulk upload, profile page, appointment booking, Nextcloud Office and Nextcloud Backup in Nextcloud 24, which we named Hub II. 3 months later, Hub II/25 introduced User migration, smart file locking, 4x lower db load, Reactions & media tab in Talk, Reply to calls & messages in Desktop client, Undo send & schedule emails. Then, Hub 3 brought a complete design overhaul with much accessibility work, Photos 2.0 with image editor & face recognition, message expiration, polls and direct document creation in Talk, an org chart in Contacts, a lot of performance work and more. Don't think you can now skip the talk - there's a ton more!

Nextcloud did 3 major releases in 2021, one of which we named "Nextcloud Hub II"because it was such a big step forward for online collaboration. Let's go over what is new!

A short overview: * Nextcloud 21 brought major performance improvements with the High Performance Back-end for Files and other improvements. * Nextcloud 22 brought user-defined groups and workflows, document signing integration, a knowledge base, and many Talk improvements. * Nextcloud 23 or Hub II introduced Nextcloud Office, appointment booking, background blur, permissions and more in Talk, Nextcloud Backup, AIO docker image, and much more.

This presentation will go over what Nextcloud introduced over 2020.

With Nextcloud you can sync, share and collaborate on data, but you don't need to put your photos, calendars or chat logs on an American server. Nope, Nextcloud is self-hosted and 100% open source! Thanks to hundreds of apps, Nextcloud can do a lot and in this talk, I will highlight some cool things.

Consider this a follow-up from my talk about 200 things Nextcloud can do last year! An update on what's new and some cool new stuff. What, what is Nextcloud? Let's see. A private cloud is one way to put it, though that's a contradiction of course. It is a way to share your data, sync your files, communicate and collaborate with others - without giving your data to GAFAM! Keep it on your own server, or something close (like a local hosting provider or data center). Nextcloud is a PHP app that does all that, and more! Easy to use, secure (really) and fully open source of course.

Private clouds are all the rage!

Ok, not really, but privacy violations certainly are. Facebook, Dropbox et all are not exactly providing a safe home for your family pictures and as such, alternatives are sought after. Nextcloud gives you a place where your data is stored, designed to protect rather than exploit it. Self-hosted or at a provider you trust, your Nextcloud lets you share, chat and edit documents with others or alone in the same way the big American players do. But you stay in control. Shouldn't that be all the rage?

In this presentation I'll touch on the subject of privacy and why you should care about it, showing you what drives us to make Nextcloud. Next I will cover the results of our work: a real alternative build for real humans!

Nextcloud is a private file sync and share solution that can take care of not only your files but also your calendars and contacts, your passwords and news feeds, notes, audio/video or text chats and so much more. Over 150 apps developed by the largest open source file sync & share community give you everything you care about, and more.

Nextcloud is 100%-no-shenanigans-open-source, because we think that that's best for everyone involved. And you can contribute, join our awesome community!
