OpenProject and Nextcloud integrate project management and file management

OpenProject and Nextcloud announced a collaboration last year and today, we’re happy to share some info on the progress we’ve made. Our goal was to improve the productivity of users of both our platforms, and a number of integrations was done:

• No more searching for files. Users can find project-related files directly in the respective work package in their project in OpenProject and always have the correct version at hand.
• Linking files in Nextcloud to project-related work and check from Nextcloud which work packages in a project belong to certain files.
• Keep an eye on relevant project updates related to linked files via the Nextcloud dashboard and search for work packages in Nextcloud.
• Retaining close control of content to avoid risk of non-compliance or data leaks.

Integrating OpenProject and Nextcloud

The integration is available starting with Nextcloud 22 and OpenProject 12.2 and can be found in the Nextcloud app store, and configured in OpenProject’s system administration. In collaboration with mutual customers, further integration efforts are under way which include the linking of files from OpenProject, including complete project folders.
