Nextcloud

Nexcloud is a software used to share files between users and save them online. It's the right choice of tool if you want to save big files or send them to any user on the internet, share documents with other user, or make backups of work files.

Files stored on Nextcloud can be accessed via the web interface, or by synchronizing them on your computer by configuring the Nexcloud desktop client. The later option is preferred, as it involves less operations to save files online, and you can be ensured the files are synchronized just by saving them on your computer.

Online Access

Nextcloud is available at https://cloud.frog-collective.org.
