![]() It's tougher to get support for NextCloud in the US though, especially if you don't want to go with an annual enterprise subscription that is quite expensive (several thousand € per year for 50 users) and deal with language barrier/timezone differences. The strength of NextCloud is that it's a mature project with a strong community behind it, particularly in Europe. Going with an open source EFSS means that any developer can inspect the code to ensure there are no "backdoors" or gaping security vulnerabilities. Even though there are concerns with NextCloud veering more towards an "open core" project in the recent versions, so far the code including for their enterprise modules like SAML/SSO, LDAP integration, RBAC, and audit logging - is still open. Haven't heard of FileCloud before to be honest, prior to this post. I would certainly trust an open source project like NextCloud much more than a closed source product like FileCloud. I believe that NextCloud’s roadmap and corporate governance is worth the move, if you can afford the time and disruption to move. Right now, there isn’t a massive difference between the two projects, however NextCloud has taken quite a few steps in extending some of the security features (2FA enforcement and client side encryption were big factors in my move). ![]() OwnCloud on the other hand does have paid functionality and paid support (I don’t like this at all, personally). They make all their money from paid support. NextCloud doesn’t have paid features, they’re not keen on obfuscating code. Your reason to move from OwnCloud to NextCloud is if you’re keen to move in the direction that NextCloud wants to move with regards to future functionality and licensing. ![]() When one looks at OwnCloud and NextCloud what you’re seeing at their core is essentially the same code with a different skin on top.
