Frequently asked questions
Nextcloud is fundamentally designed so that Nextcloud GmbH does not have any access to customer data, removing the need for a data processor or controller agreement under the GDPR or similar legislation. With Nextcloud, you stay compliant with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, FERPA, COPPA, MTCDPA, and PCI DSS.
Yes, and even more than that, Nextcloud can scale to tens of millions of users. We have a successful examples of large-scale setups among our success stories. Especially big deployments can use Nextcloud Global Scale for running efficient architectures with local data and minimal latency.
You might already have apps with a dashboard, or a video conferencing solution, a whiteboard, file share or others. Specialized tools can sometimes be very good at specific things. But the fragmentation increases cost, complexity, security risks and of course reduces productivity. Things improve a little with integrations between apps and some vendors even offer bundles of various loosely integrated tools. But the integration is usually limited, so user experience continues to suffer.
Nextcloud Hub’s platform is designed to consolidating many separate tools in one place, while remaining flexible. A number of optional third party developed components is available which reduce friction through a more comprehensive integration than typical bundles offer. This way each organization can build a collaboration platform that fits their unique situation and needs while providing their users a true unified experience.
Learn more about the benefits of the Nextcloud Hub approach over separate applications or bundles in our blog post.
