Nextcloud for personal use
Private, self-hosted cloud storage for home users
Store your documents, photos, contacts, and calendars securely on your server or preferred hosting service and collaborate on files with others using the free and open source Nextcloud.
Right now, half a dozen companies store nearly all data about you that exists: where you live, what you talk about, what you search for, what you like, and what you buy.
When your data is out in the open, it can be easily abused. By moving it into your private cloud, you decide who gets access and for which purposes.
It’s nobody’s business what you do. We believe privacy is a right, a foundation for democracy. And your own, private Nextcloud server is the best way to get started with getting it back!
Take back ownership of your files, chats, calendars, and more.
With self-hosted cloud storage, your data is where you want it to be: at home or on a server you trust. Nextcloud gives you easy access to your files from your desktop and mobile devices, lets you run your own chats and video calls with your friends and family, and makes it easy to collaborate with others on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Nextcloud lets you run a reliable, secure service for you and your family. In the user-friendly web interface, you can run updates with just a few clicks. The admin panel gives you an overview of your server’s resources and the storage space available to you.
With the free Nextcloud clients for Android, iOS, and desktop systems, you can easily sync and share files through an encrypted connection. Automatically upload your pictures and videos to your Nextcloud and synchronize select files and folders on the go, even with multiple accounts.
Chat with friends and relatives using Nextcloud Talk, your own secure and private audio/video communication service! Talk also supports text messages and comes with mobile applications for Android and iOS so you can call others from your phone.
Easily share files, create and send password-protected links, invite others to upload to your cloud and to get notified when someone shares files with you.
Calendar, Contacts and Mail
Nextcloud Mail gives you a powerful, easy-to-use mail client directly integrated into your cloud that can talk to your existing IMAP or POP mail server. With Nextcloud Calendar and Contacts, you can store, sync and share your appointments and contact lists and access them wherever you are.
The Nextcloud Dashboard gives you an overview of your upcoming appointments, urgent emails, chat messages, and more. You can also set your status to let others know what you’re up to.
The unified search feature makes it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for anywhere on your Nextcloud. Installing additional search providers lets you browse GitHub issues, Moodle courses, Jira tickets, and more.
Accessibility
To ensure Nextcloud is accessible to users with visual impairments, it supports screen readers and can be navigated with just a keyboard. Further accessibility features include an optional high-contrast color palette aiming for WCAG 2.0 AAA compliance and Dyslexia-friendly fonts.
Privacy center
What does privacy mean for you, and how can Nextcloud help you keep your data under your control? In the Nextcloud Privacy Center, you can see at a glance where your data is and who has access to it.
Nextcloud is deeply committed to protecting the safety of your data. We follow security best practices aligned to ISO27001, offer some of the highest security bug bounties in the open source world, and have integrated unique in-transit, server-side and client-side end-to-end encryption technologies.
Choose a Nextcloud provider
There are many trustworthy services that will host your personal Nextcloud for you.
If you’re looking to get started as fast as possible, you can choose Simple Sign-up to get started with a free Nextcloud account in just a few clicks.

RAM requirements range from a minimum of 512MB for the most basic single-user setup to 8GB for a full Nextcloud Hub installation with multiple users.
Photos are deeply personal. With Nextcloud, you get powerful photo management tools to safely store your memories and share them in a secure manner with those close to you.
Photo editor
Nextcloud’s built-in photo editor includes all the features, filters, and editing operations you need to create stunning images.

View and edit documents
with Nextcloud Office

It supports dozens of document formats: DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, ODF, Import/View Visio, Publisher & many more.
External storage, securely encrypted
The external storage feature of Nextcloud gives you access to your data wherever it is. Nextcloud can access files stored with a wide variety of popular cloud service providers such as Amazon, Google and Dropbox, but you can also access them using standard protocols such as NFS, (S)FTP, WebDAV, and more.
The Encryption App can encrypt data at rest for both local and remote storage, protecting data stored on networks outside of your server. Nextcloud will keep your data where it is and retrieve it over a secure communication channel whenever you need to access it.

Frequently asked questions
Nextcloud is free and open source software that you can host yourself. There are also many trusted providers who will host your Nextcloud for you as a service. Some of them offer free plans via the Simple Sign-up program.
Whereas a NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a device connected to your network for storing and accessing files, Nextcloud is software that gives you file storage and sync (like a NAS), but also offers optional features such as a calendar, a tool for chats and video calls, and more. You can install Nextcloud on a NAS to get access to both the storage hardware and the feature-rich software.
Nextcloud requires an absolute minimum of 128MB RAM, but at least 512MB are recommended for the most basic single-user setup. A full Nextcloud Hub installation with multiple users will need between 3GB and 8GB or RAM.
If you don’t want your Nextcloud to be accessible from the internet and only want to use it locally, Nextcloud All-in-One gives you a few options, such as using Tailscale, a self-hosted reverse proxy and local DNS server, or the ACME DNS-challenge. Please refer to the “Local instance” page in the Nextcloud AIO documentation for more information.
If you want full control over your data and have some technical knowledge, self-hosting is an excellent option. On the other hand, using a Nextcloud provider means you don’t have to take care of updates, backups, and uptime yourself. Which option works for you depends on how much time and energy you’re willing to invest.
To run Nextcloud, you need a web server (e.g., Apache or nginx), an up-to-date version of PHP, and a database (MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQLite for small setups). Please refer to the “System requirements” page in the Nextcloud documentation for more details.
The Docker-based Nextcloud All-in-One setup takes care of most of these requirements for you.
