Nextcloud is the most popular self-hosted, open source collaboration platform for a reason. I'll go over some of those reasons, but more importantly, show and tell what Nextcloud can do for you. As home user, small business or big business (but an emphasis on the smaller side of things).

Why should you care? A small handful of big tech firms are gathering up the data of nearly everybody on this planet. They use every trick at their disposal, from pricing to gate keeping, to make sure nobody gets in. And with our data comes not only a massive opportunity to squeeze profits out of everybody using digital devices, they also give a variety of 3-letter agencies a treasure trove of data to use for profiling and worse. But the good news is that, while Big Tech prefers everyone thinks otherwise, there is a real alternative to MS 365 and Google Workspace.

If you are new to Nextcloud, this will be a great introduction. If you're aware of Nextcloud, I'll show you what it can do. And if you're very familiar with Nextcloud you'll still learn some things you didn't know!
