We pointed a browser at our new domain, and Nextcloud prompted us for our login credentials. (Image credit: Nextcloud) How can I use Nextcloud? But the provider has far less knowledge of what you're doing than a regular cloud storage service, and by using end-to-end and at-rest encryption you can ensure your files stay private. This isn't a perfect privacy solution, as you're still trusting the host to look after your files. The third option, and the one we're exploring in this article, is to sign up for a web hosting (opens in new tab) plan from your favorite provider, then install Nextcloud on your web space. We're not sure why it only shows one by default, but when we clicked 'Change provider', the site displayed eight more. You'll typically get 2-8GB of online storage for free, with more available at extra cost (prices vary, but basic accounts supporting 50 users start at only $10-$15 a month.) Point your browser at Nextcloud's signup page and the site will recommend a provider. It's also the most complicated option and outside the scope of this article, but if that could be the best approach for you, there's more advice on the Nextcloud site.Īs an alternative, you could get the service from a Nextcloud provider. It's free, as you're using your own hardware and internet connection. That's as private a solution as you'll get, giving you complete control over your files. You could run the server on your own hardware, perhaps creating a Raspberry Pi (opens in new tab)-powered file storage platform in your own bedroom. There are several ways you can run Nextcloud.
