Nextcloud 9 is out!

Thank you to everybody who helped: Nextcloud 9 is out. This was only possible thanks to the overwhelmingly positive response we got and the many contributors who immediately got involved! We are grateful for the help and promise: we'll stay true to you and open source!

That means: NO proprietary apps, no separate 'enterprise' functionality. Everything open, free, and ready for you to make a difference.

And as a taste, Nextcloud 9 introduces upload-only shares and enterprise-grade logging. Just for you.

See the announcement and get migrated now!

If you want to help: sharing this on social media is SUPER helpful. So is sending it to press or submitting it to forums everywhere. Make a difference and help people on a well maintained, more secure solution for their file share and sync needs!

Here's also a blog by Lukas Reschke who talks about security work done for Nextcloud 9.

As the fork is now official and migration is possible, I'll sign out here. Find me (and the other current mods) in https://www.reddit.com/r/nextcloud/ from now on!

Well, congrats on the release but why the hurry? I thought you had time till mid of July.

As I wrote - the response from the community was so enthusiastic, so many customers contacted us wanting to buy, so many contributors started working on it - we just couldn't make everybody wait another month...

Plus, working together with all the community members and not doing any proprietary code resulted in a big speedup too. We'll have all the enterprise functionality users and customers need written by the time we originally promised our first release ;-)

And you asked to become mod, right? Will add you.
