Company files in someone else's cloud: how that ends — and how Nextcloud fixes it

Almost every company keeps documents "in the cloud" — usually Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Convenient, but the convenience has a price: your contracts, drawings and financial reports physically sit on another company's servers in another country. For Russian businesses the risk stopped being abstract long ago: Google and Microsoft corporate subscriptions cannot be paid for legally, services leave the market one after another, and the Telegram and WhatsApp blocks showed that access to a familiar tool can disappear within a day — together with the data, if there were no copies.

Nextcloud is the same cloud, but installed on your own server: shared folders, collaborative document editing, calendars, video calls and mobile apps. Nothing changes for your staff — they still open files from their phones and share links. What changes is what matters: the data belongs to you, and nobody outside can cut your access, raise the price or look inside.

We install Nextcloud on your hardware or a server rented in Russia, set up backups and encryption, and train your team. After that we either operate it under an SLA or hand it over to your admins with full documentation.
