Enterprises, Education and Service Providers - Amid a push to improve efficiency and security, and lower costs and facilitate remote work through online collaboration technology, enterprises counter a growing compliance, cost and data leak risk by strategic deployments of Cloud.

Feature Details :

Access on your terms:
Through File access control and automatic file tagging, Cloud gives administrators control over data access by enabling them to define strict rules requests need to adhere to. If users in certain groups or geographic regions should not be given access to certain file types or if data with a specific tag should not be shared outside the company, administrators can make sure their Cloud instance enforces these rules. Combined with our Secure Sharing Outlook add-in (and by disabling direct email attachments), File access control can play a crucial role in enforcing company policy on data sharing.

Convenient and secure file exchange for enterprises:
The File Drop feature enables customers, patients, clients or partners to upload files for you in a secure cloud folder you shared through a hyperlink. Features:
- Easy creation of secure upload point
- Activity tracker notifies sender about file uploads/downloads
- Integrated anti-virus scanning
- Unlimited shares and upload folders
- Unique links for each customer
- Edit/rename without link change
- Read only/write permissions
- Password protection
- Expiration date

File versioning, restore and retention control - Data Loss Prevention:
File retention and deletion can also be controlled based on tags set manually or automatically, ensuring legal or practical requirements for the longevity of data lifespans can be enforced.

Searching, Collaboration - Full-text search:
Cloud includes a powerful full-text search engine capable of using ElasticSearch as back-end. Its flexible plugin-based interface enables search capabilities beyond files and accommodates other back-end solutions like Apache Solr.

Architecture - Global Scale:
Extreme scalability at commodity cost.
Cloud delivers a true globally scalable solution for deployments with hundreds of millions of users, giving unprecedented control over the locality of data and delivering dramatic cost reduction.

Collaboration - Locking files:
File locking helps users prevent conflicts with colleagues who are trying to edit the same files. While office documents and notes can be edited in real time in the browser, some files have to be downloaded to make changes. Lock the file and collisions are avoided! Other users can easily contact you in chat or by a comment to ask what is going on. Features:
- Automatic locking for files while they are being edited locally on the desktop clients
- Server locks files in use on the server (editing in text or office)
- Administration can configure lock time-out

Security, AI:
Machine learning based suspicious login detection.
Cloud includes a machine learning technology which trains a neural network on successful logins on the instance and uses it to classify login attempts. Should it detect a login classified as suspicious by the trained model, it will notify the user and store an entry in the log for the system administrator.

Integrations - Microsoft integrations:
Cloud is designed to integrate well in Microsoft environments, with file storage, user directory, Outlook, Sharepoint, Windows Desktop, MS Office online server and Teams integrations available.

Administration, Security - Monitoring and auditing:
Cloud has your back with our Server Information, Activities and Auditing apps.
With your file sync and share solution central to the productivity of hundreds, thousands or even millions of users it is crucial to have an overview of its performance and service. Your users want to know what is happening to their files. And last but not least, so does your legal department! Features:
- Built-in App for monitoring
- Monitoring API endpoint integration
- Protect and retire data
- Advanced file access control and retention capabilities

Administration, Security - Auditing logs:
Cloud logs data in the cloud.log file provided in the root of its data directory. You can optionally record a full audit trail in a separate audit log file. This can be used by Data Loss Prevention and Mobile Device Management tools as user agent information is available alongside extensive user, IP and date/time logs.
Audit logs provided include user session information, file handling, user management, sharing and other actions.

Collaboration - Cloud Dashboard - A great way to start your day:
The Cloud Dashboard is your starting point of the day, giving you an overview of your upcoming appointments, urgent emails, chat messages, incoming tickets, latest tweets and much more! Users can add the widgets they like and change the background to their liking. Features:
- Configurable dashboard widgets
- Widgets for social media apps
- Move the widgets where you want them
- View and edit files directly from the dashboard
- Change the background

Data Loss Prevention - Remote Wipe:
Clean data and accounts from the client.
While Cloud supports Mobile Device Management solutions, thanks to built-in support, remote wipe will work on systems not under management of the company. This is useful for home users but also large universities and of course in a scenario where guest accounts were handed to a third party.

Security - Secure view:
With secure view, our online office solutions can be configured to open PDF files, images and text files, making these files available in a watermark-protected way, while downloads and other apps are disabled using File access control. This setup is useful when data has to be protected from leaking but still has to be made available for review, as in a virtual data room scenario.

Collaboration - Set your status:
🥘 Having Lunch 🏠 Working from home 📞 Calls all day
On top of the dashboard, users can set their status, to show to colleagues what they are up to – traveling, working from home, concentrating, and so on. This status is then visible in Talk and other apps and it can automatically clear after a set time, so your colleagues do not think you are commuting for a whole day!

Sharing, Security - Sharing permissions:
Securely sharing and collaborating on documents requires strong access control mechanisms. Cloud features a variety of sharing mechanisms and associated control solutions like ACLs and sharing permissions.
The basic sharing model in Cloud follows a flat model where users are in control of the sharing. Any file or folder can be individually shared and access permissions can be configured. New files show up in the home of users whom you share with. They can rename these folders if they like, or put them where they want to optimize their own productivity. Features:

Encryption - Server-side encryption with flexible key handling:
Nextcloud supports pluggable encryption key handling. If you have an external key server or Hardware Security Module, these can be made to work with Cloud.
Our default encryption key handling enables administrators to set a system wide recovery key for encrypted files,. This ensures that, even when users lose their password, files can always be decrypted. Encrypted files can be shared but after changing encryption settings, shares will have to be re-shared. Using our command line tools, data can be encrypted, decrypted or re-encrypted when needed.

Security - Secure view:
With secure view, our online office solutions can be configured to open PDF files, images and text files, making these files available in a watermark-protected way, while downloads and other apps are disabled using File access control. This setup is useful when data has to be protected from leaking but still has to be made available for review, as in a virtual data room scenario.

Security - Two-factor authentication
Cloud includes a variety of second factors like TOTP, U2F and SMS gateways. 2-factor authentication can be enforced and user sessions and devices can be managed. Cloud is also among the first in the industry to provide support for the WebAuthn standard, enabling password-less authentication and support for Windows Hello, various FIDO2 keys and other standards-compliant authentication devices.

Compliance - Support for GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, FERPA, COPPA, MTCDPA:
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) makes organizations liable for any violations of user privacy and deviations from a high data security standard. Legislation like the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018), HIPAA, FERPA, COPPA. MTCDPA bring privacy regulation to other countries. The Cloud platform simplifies compliance, decreasing business risk and costs. Features:
- Configurable imprint and privacy links for your login page

Security - Video verification:
In situations where extreme security is warranted and the identity of a recipient has to be verified with absolute certainty before they are granted access, Cloud includes the industry-first implementation of Video Verification.
Video Verification enforces a Cloud Talk video call before access is given to a share, making sure the identity of the recipient is properly checked. The call can be picked up through the Cloud Talk Mobile apps as well as the web interface.

Security - Virtual data room - Keep your data close:
M&A transactions, loan syndication, private equity and venture capital transactions require the utmost confidentiality. And all that without any data leaving your organization.
