We’re proud to introduce the Nextcloud Secure Sharing Outlook Add-in which enables Nextcloud customers to easily and securely sent files, folders or upload links to others from within Microsoft Outlook. The Add-in can replace attachments, automatically uploading files to Nextcloud and inserting a secure link in the email. It also makes it easy for users to provide others with a secure file upload link.
Keep data secure and optimize costs
Complementing our existing add-in for Calendar and Contacts synchronization with Outlook, the Nextcloud Secure Sharing Outlook Add-in takes away the IT headache caused by risky attachments. Storing and sharing files securely through Nextcloud ensures company policies on data availability, retention and safety can be enforced. This enables system administrators for example to make sure files are run through the virus scanner, certain file types are protected from being shared outside the company or retention policies are followed.
Another significant advantage for IT departments is the savings in storage space for email servers. The add-in negates the need for storing large amounts of attachments in multiple email boxes and decreases network traffic.

right now because we simply lack the capacity to handle that. I know it is a frustrating and stupid reason but we’re super flooded with work and have lots of large, well paying customers to migrate. We are working real hard to hire more people (every month we add a few new, 3 new people this month!) but it is hard to find good people and more work is coming our way all the time…
However, I want to provide a solution for you and others like you, and that WILL come. It is just going to take a bit of time. We will probably start with publishing a time limited version of the plugin for free with its next update (soon, think a few weeks). That will at least help, so you can start using it if you like.
Hope it helps.
