Don’t forget that scanning a document and saving it as a PDF on the cloud is already possible using your Nextcloud app. Check here for a quick reminder!

Now it’s time to try out the new search feature that comes with the built-in viewer:

1. Open a multi-page PDF file on your cloud
2. Search for a word or phrase using the search bar
3. You will get as a result a list of all the pages of the document where that phrase is written

Photos and media

Live photo support

Nextcloud app for iOS is the first cloud client to introduce live photo support: share your favourite live photos as soon as you take them!

Live photos are introduced by Apple as an enhanced mode of photography, which is basically an image similar to a non-repetitive gif you can take in one click, just like every other photo. This popular cool feature is now supported on your Nextcloud app!

1. Take a live photo and sync it on your Nextcloud
2. Viewing the photo gallery, which photo is a live photo? You will notice the sign on the top-left!
3. That’s it! Share it – it’s on your cloud already!

Curated view for your media files

Update to the latest version and check out your media folder! Don’t you love the new elegant, modern, simplified view? You choose how many pictures you want to be shown in a row 😉

New built-in image viewer

While you have your cloud client set up on your mobile, why download images to your device? Go through your photos on your Nextcloud and do everything from there: open a photo, check out more details about a picture, rename it, move it, add it to favorites and explore the other options available!

And if some files are in a format not readable by the image viewer there’s an integrated quick look option, which will allow you to view the file right away!

Delete from camera roll

A quick tip: Keep your work where the work is! Mixing up professional files with personal pictures could be a mess!

Keep it simple controlling what stays on your camera roll from your cloud! If the images you wanted to upload are successfully uploaded on your Nextcloud, you can enable an option to delete these from your camera roll, just in one click!

So, professional files go to your company’s cloud and everything goes smoothly!

Organize files and folders

Organize files and folders on your cloud simply! Move folders where they fit best on your cloud and choose between the most suitable options in one simple interface!

1. Move a file to another folder
2. A file with the same name already exists in that folder:
   1. Choose if you want to overwrite that file if it is duplicated or outdated.
   2. If the files just share the same name but not the same content, create another folder to move the file to right away!
