Nextcloud Workspace - FAQs

Why is Nextcloud Workspace an alternative to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

Nextcloud Workspace is a European, GDPR compliant collaboration platform and a sovereign alternative to US solutions. Your data is stored exclusively on servers in European data centres – protected by the strictest privacy standards without third-party access. This ensures you maintain full control over your information at all times. 

Furthermore, Nextcloud Workspace combines all the central tools for seamless digital collaboration: from email, calendar, and chat to video conferencing and collaborative document editing in real time. An integrated AI assistant further supports you with daily tasks, ensuring more efficient work in your sovereign online workspace.

How secure is Nextcloud Workspace?

Nextcloud Workspace guarantees the highest standards of data sovereignty and data protection. Your data is hosted in GDPR compliant European IONOS data centres, meaning access by third-party states is excluded. Additionally, the platform protects your data with security features such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and is ISO certified to meet relevant compliance requirements.

Which communication and collaboration tools are integrated?

Seamless digital collaboration and communication are at the centre of Nextcloud Workspace. You can centrally manage files, calendars, emails, chats, and video conferencing. All features, including the fully featured online office suite, are seamlessly linked and can also be accessed on the go via the Nextcloud apps.

How does the AI assistant help me in Nextcloud Workspace?

The privacy-compliant AI assistant with the IONOS Model Hub integration makes your work even more productive. It supports you with numerous tasks, such as generating text and images or providing quick answers. This allows you to handle routine work more efficiently and focus on what matters most.

Why does IONOS use open source software for Nextcloud Workspace?

Nextcloud Workspace is based entirely on open source software. This allows you to retain control over your data and benefit from maximum security and transparency. Thanks to the large community and IONOS, the software is continuously developed, ensuring it remains a future-proof solution.

How does Managed Nextcloud differ from Nextcloud Workspace?

Both Managed Nextcloud and Nextcloud Workspace support secure, digital collaboration, but they differ in their features and areas of use:

  • Managed Nextcloud is primarily a secure solution for the exchange and storage of files. Users can add individual apps via the integrated app store or extend it with office functionalities for a fee if required.
  • Nextcloud Workspace, on the other hand, is a fully featured platform for real-time collaboration. All central tools – such as office programs, email, calendar, chat, and video conferencing – are already integrated and supported by AI technologies. This allows teams to work together seamlessly, regardless of location or device, always with the highest security and data protection standards.

Can I use Nextcloud Workspace with Microsoft Office files?

Yes, Nextcloud Workspace works easily with the familiar Microsoft Office formats and offers comprehensive document support. The powerful office suite also supports the most common file formats:

  • Text documents: .odt, .docx, .doc, .docm and .rtf
  • Spreadsheets: .ods, .xlsx, .xls, .xlsm and .csv
  • Presentations: .odp, .pptx and .ppt
  • Drawings: .odg and .vsd

Thanks to its support for numerous file formats, Nextcloud Workspace adapts to your way of working, rather than the other way around.

Is collaborative work on files possible?

Yes, Nextcloud Workspace is designed for collaborative work on files. Real-time editing allows changes made by team members to be displayed immediately. This enables you to work efficiently without having to send files back and forth. Instead, you can collaboratively edit text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with others.

Can I also use Nextcloud Workspace offline or as a desktop application?

Currently, Nextcloud Workspace works entirely online via the web application in your browser or through the mobile app. This gives you access to your files from any device with internet access at any time, allowing you to edit them directly.
