I’ve used Nextcloud<\/a>, a great open-source Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud, for years on both my own on-premise and shared servers. It works well, it’s simple to set up, and it does the main job of replacing public cloud storage services<\/a> such as Google Drive<\/a>, Microsoft OneDrive<\/a>, and DropBox<\/a> flawlessly. With this latest edition, Nextcloud Hub 19<\/a> is also adding improvements to its built-in, office Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) programs.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Nextcloud is also moving on from password security to WebAuthn<\/a>. This is an emerging password-less secure-login standard. With it, you can use Nitrokey<\/a> open-source, FIDO2<\/a> compliant, hardware security keys,\u00a0Windows Hello<\/a>, and other hardware keys.
