Do you search for a good quality Nextcloud service with Automatic Updates? NextFiles is a high quality , hight privacy german based cloud provider, a fast and secure Nextcloud service in a German data center with ISO 27001 certification.

Setting up Nextcloud on a self-hosted Linux box is not a job for the casual user, so why not let the professionals do it for you? A variety of very reasonably priced devices are available which ship with Nextcloud pre-installed for you. Given the low cost of physical storage these days, plus the fact that it costs nothing in terms of subscription fees, self-hosting Nextcloud is a very economical approach to cloud storage. It is also inherently very secure, as you have total physical control over the server. End-to-end encryption should ensure hosted solutions which use it are secure too, although this is still in the testing stage.

What’s great about those looking for an alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive is that NextCloud offers a refreshingly similar UI. Not only is it incredibly easy to navigate, but at first glance will prove to be familiar to anyone who’s used cloud storage platforms because of this. Furthermore, here is a glimpse of a fresh NextCloud account looks like on a private server. NextCloud also offers a file sync client, thus allowing users to sync folders on their local machine with their server. This works seamlessly to automatically update files within a particular folder. While this may not be ideal in certain situations (for instance, detailed version control or accidental syncs), it still remains a feature that will provide benefit to a majority.

End-to-end encryption: For ultimate privacy and security, Nextcloud offers end-to-end encryption (e2ee). This means you encrypt your own files locally before uploading them to the cloud. They can then only be decrypted inside apps for which you have the key. E2ee can be enabled on a per-folder basic and synced across. In addition to the actual content, file names and folder structure in e2ee folders are hidden from the server. Nextcloud uses X.509 certificates to verify public keys, an AES-128-GCM (NoPadding) cipher to encrypt private keys, PBKDF2 with HMAC SHA1 authentication for key derivation, and a BIP39 mnemonic as a password. Full details are available in a white paper.

Nextcloud gives you access to all your files wherever you are and whatever device you use. The easy web interface allows you to share files with other users on your server, to create and send password protected public links, to let others upload files to your cloud and to get notifications on your phone and desktop when a user on another cloud server shares files directly with you. And you can do all these things from the desktop or mobile clients, too. Nextcloud clients for Android, iOS and desktop systems allow you to sync and share files, in a fully secure way through an encrypted connection. The mobile clients feature automatic upload of pictures and videos you take and can synchronize select files and folders. The clients can handle multiple accounts, show all activity happening on your server and notify you of new events such as the availability of new shares.
