Download Nextcloud 20.0.0

Version 20 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. The release notes for this release are as follows:

The three biggest features we introduce are:

• Our new dashboard provides a great starting point for the day with over a dozen widgets ranging from Twitter and Github to Moodle and Zammad already available
• Search was unified, bringing search results of Nextcloud apps as well as external services like Gitlab, Jira and Discourse in one place
• Talk introduced bridging to other platforms including MS Teams, Slack, IRC, Matrix and a dozen others

there’s more:

• Notifications and Activities were brought together, making sure you won’t miss anything important
• We added a ‘status’ setting so you can communicate to other users what you are up to
• Talk also brings dashboard and search integration, emoji picker, upload view, camera and microphone settings, mute and more
• Calendar integrates in dashboard and search, introduced a list view and design improvements
• Mail introduces threaded view, mailbox management and more
• Deck integrates with dashboard and search, introduces Calendar integration, modal view for card editing and series of smaller improvements

Some other app improvements we want to highlight include:

• Flow adds push notification and webhooks so other web apps can easily integrate with Nextcloud
• Text introduced direct linking to files in Nextcloud
• Files lets you add a description to public link shares
