[Osmf-talk] Testing Nextcloud with OnlyOffice for the OSMF

[Felix Delattre]

Please excuse me, I kind of assumed most people knew what Nextcloud is - the software that runs under https://osmfiles.cloud68.co
If you are entirely new to Nextcloud and wonder what this is all about, maybe you want to go through this very general introduction (video): https://nextcloud.com/

Best,
Felix

Then we plan to compile the feedback we receive and present it to the board so that they can take further action to proceed or not with the contracting of this instance. Please feel free to discuss this matter also here on the mailing list.

If you want to test it, too, just write a short message to osmfiles at xama.nu and include your desired username and email address and we are happy to create you one. Please do not upload any information or files that you do not store anywhere else. Assume that this Nextcloud instance and all its data will be deleted in the last week of March.
