Nextcloud

Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, replaced by a platform you actually control: Nextcloud is the self-hosted digital workspace. Files is the core: file storage and sync across desktop, mobile, and web clients, with sharing, versioning, and collaboration built in. Around it, Talk provides private text chat, audio/video conferencing with screen sharing, SIP integration, and persistent voice rooms; Groupware bundles calendar, contacts, and mail with delegation support; and Office offers two collaborative suites - the Collabora-based option with deep ODF support, and Euro-Office, whose local-processing architecture delivers strong Microsoft Office compatibility and fast browser rendering with reduced server load. The Nextcloud Assistant threads AI through the platform via a context-aware sidebar, Whiteboard covers visual collaboration, Flow handles automation, and an app ecosystem of hundreds of extensions adds everything from Kanban boards to end-to-end encryption. Hub 26 brings a lighter UI with a unified app switcher and Nextcloud Governance for organizations under strict regulatory requirements. This is the flagship of data sovereignty: your files, chats, calendars, and documents live on your server, under your jurisdiction, with GDPR compliance by architecture rather than by contract.
