Secure and simple Nextcloud alternative I FTAPI

Be careful when using Nextcloud for business.

Nextcloud is an open source software that allows users to store and share files. The service can be used free of charge for private use, but this is not recommended for business use. In terms of data protection, Nextcloud offers advantages compared to services like Google Drive or Dropbox.

However, the crux is, as so often, in the details: Anyone who wants to use Nextcloud for business and thus use its security features will not get far with the simple free version. Instead, numerous adaptations and extensions are necessary, for which separate prices apply. Implementing Nextcloud also requires some IT expertise and resources. Users and administrators are therefore right to ask for a Nextcloud alternative with which they can easily and reliably implement the requirements of the GDPR.

Nextcloud only partially meets the requirements of the GDPR.

Nextcloud alternative FTAPI SecuRooms - straightforward and secure.

Is Nextcloud compliant with the GDPR?

When used correctly, Nextcloud is a good, GDPR-compliant solution. Users can decide for themselves where the server for their data is located and which security-related extensions their Nextcloud should contain. This creates flexibility, but also brings with it great responsibility. After all, the service must be securely implemented and configured using the company’s own IT resources. Overall, the protection of sensitive data is of great importance to companies. After all, it is not only a company’s good reputation that is at stake. Anyone who violates the GDPR also faces a fine of up to 20 million euros or four percent of annual turnover.

Let flexibility be your guide.

Nextcloud and the GDPR are well compatible if you set up the necessary security features and have all the required IT knowledge. However, it is much easier to protect your data with a solution that covers all security-related functions right from the start. FTAPI SecuRooms fits seamlessly into your existing IT infrastructure. In this way, you rule out the possibility of incursion gates and incalculable risks arising from time-consuming adaptations and unmanageable shadow IT.
