Always Encrypted Nextcloud

Nextcloud is open source software that is primarily used as cloud storage, but can be flexibly expanded with various features for communication, and productivity.

With Nextcloud, you can back up and synchronise your files automatically and, if necessary, include data from other users in the cloud. You can access data and/or business apps in the cloud from any location and from any device – whether on a smartphone, tablet, desktop PC or laptop. It’s also possible to set up individual sharing and access rights that can be configured and customised.

In addition to the wide range of possible uses, one major difference compared to other cloud storage – such as Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive – is the protection of your data. With the enclaive Confidential Nextcloud, you keep control over your data and your privacy leveraging the flexibility of the cloud.

Confidential Nextcloud from enclaive provides you with GDPR compliant data storage as well as strict European data security and other services. This flexible and secure data storage is suitable for companies, institutions and associations, as well as for self-employed and private individuals.

The Confidential Nextcloud service provides 100% runtime encryption ensuring that the legally required security and privacy is built in without having to worry about potential regulatory implications given by the origin of the provider. The enclaive service ensures the application and data are always and build into the technology disconnected from the infrastructure. This ensures that no operator has potential access at any time.

enclaive’s Confidential Nextcloud is a highly reliable and secure Nextcloud-hosted solution. Your data belongs to you and you alone, which means that no one else can access it unless you deliberately share it.

Thanks to extensive configuration options, you can define access rights precisely and individually – according to each user’s needs and their role. For example, you can set up time-limited passwords for data sharing or define customised access rights for reading, writing and sharing data.

Nextcloud also provides the option of video calls to share your data. Instead of sending the password via email or chat, the recipient must start a video call to request the password from you. This innovative method allows you to verify the identity of the person before you give out the password.

Within the enclaive Confidential Cloud, all your data is stored in compliance with the GDPR and the Schrems II ruling. This applies to cloud data and any individual configurations.

Our systems are located exclusively in state-of-the-art data centres in Europe and are subject to strict data protection laws.

Unlike with many other cloud hosting services, your data will not be transferred or accessible to other countries where comparable high data protection standards are often not in place.

We ensure that your cloud is always kept up to date from a technical perspective. You do not have to deal with any maintenance or system updates. This way security risks caused by outdated installations can be avoided.
