Nextcloud Workspace – FAQs

Nextcloud Workspace is a European, GDPR-compliant collaboration platform — a sovereign alternative to US-based solutions. All data is stored exclusively on servers in German data centres, in accordance with the strictest data protection standards, and secure against access by third countries.

The platform brings together all the core tools needed for digital collaboration: email, calendar, chat, video conferencing and real-time collaborative document editing. An integrated AI assistant supports you with daily tasks and increases efficiency in your sovereign online workspace.

Nextcloud Workspace meets the highest requirements for data sovereignty and data protection. Data is hosted in compliance with the GDPR in IONOS European data centres and can't be accessed by third countries. In addition, the platform offers two-factor authentication (2FA) and is ISO-certified to meet relevant compliance requirements. 

Nextcloud Workspace provides all the tools you need for digital collaboration and communication in one place. Files, calendars, emails, chats and video conferencing can all be managed centrally. All features — including the Euro-Office online office suite — are seamlessly connected and accessible on mobile via the Nextcloud apps. 

Euro-Office is a European open-source office suite integrated directly into Nextcloud Workspace. You edit text documents, spreadsheets and presentations in your browser – on your own or together with your team in real time. No separate installation is required.

The privacy-compliant AI assistant with IONOS Model Hub integration boosts your productivity. It helps you quickly create texts and images, and find answers — so you can handle routine tasks faster and focus on what matters.

Nextcloud Workspace is built entirely on open-source software. This gives you full control over your data and maximum transparency. Thanks to the active community and IONOS CLOUD, the software is continuously developed, delivering a future-proof solution.

Both solutions support secure digital collaboration, but differ in their feature scope and use case:

  • Managed Nextcloud is primarily designed for file sharing and file storage. Users can add individual apps via the integrated app store or extend office functionality at an additional cost.
  • Nextcloud Workspace is a full-featured platform for real-time collaboration. All core tools — office programmes, email, calendar, chat and video conferencing — are already integrated and supported by AI technology. Teams work independently of location and device, under the highest security and data protection standards.
