Why self-managed?

Google and Microsoft are excellent products. But your data is stored on American servers, falls under the US CLOUD Act and is subject to price increases over which you have no say. That does not have to be the case.

The US CLOUD Act gives American authorities theoretical access to data stored with American companies, even if that data is physically located in the EU. With a European open source solution, that threat disappears entirely.

Discuss the options

Full control

Your data is stored on a server that belongs to you. No American owner, no forced data sharing, no surprises.

Predictable costs

No annual price increases of 10 to 15 per cent. A fixed server price plus our management contract, that is all.

Open source

Nextcloud is open source software with a large community. No vendor lock-in. You can always switch or manage it yourself.

GDPR by design

European servers, data processing agreement, tailored permissions structure. GDPR compliance is not an afterthought but the starting point.
