Download Nextcloud 17.0.0

Version 17 of Nextcloud has been released. With this program it is possible to run cloud storage in-house. Nextcloud was created after a large number of developers left ownCloud and started over. All components, including the enterprise functionality, are offered as open source and the revenue model is similar to what Red Hat does, which is to provide paid support for major customers. Nextcloud also promises a so-called drop-in replacement, which makes it possible to easily switch from ownCloud to Nextcloud. Version 17 includes the following improvements:

remote wipe
Remote Wipe allows users and administrators to forcibly clean files from remote devices, for example in case they are stolen. The video shows how easy it is to clean devices when you need to!

Nextcloud Text
Introducing Nextcloud Text, our new distraction-free, collaborative rich text editor. You can see how Text makes working with others easier than ever in the video.

Secure view
This release comes with improvements to secure view like enforceable document watermarks based on tags, groups, type of share and other properties. Watch the video to learn more!

And much more, including:

• Setup two-factor authentication after first login, admins can create one-time login tokens in the web UI and delegate this to group admins
• Secure mailbox in Outlook Add-in
• LDAP write support makes it possible to manage users from Nextcloud
• S3 versioning support, IBM Spectrum Scale integration and Global Scale with Collabora Online

note that we roll out new versions incrementally and usually wait a few weeks before we do so. This helps us catch any problems before it impacts too many users! If you wait for the updater to notify you, it can take some weeks. If you don’t want to wait, you can switch to the Beta channel, refresh the page, update to 17, and switch back!
