Nextcloud Desktop

Nextcloud Desktop

Private cloud sync client

Description

Company files on a public cloud drive feel risky, so you host Nextcloud yourself — and then need a desktop client that keeps the files in step automatically. This official client does exactly that: pick the folders to sync and local and server stay matched, transferring only what changed.

Open-source and free, on Windows, macOS and Linux, paired with your own Nextcloud server.

Features



Automatic two-way sync: chosen folders stay in step between the machine and the server, with additions, edits and deletions following along and nothing uploaded by hand.

Selective sync: sync only some folders, or use virtual files so content downloads on demand — useful when local disk space is limited.

Multiple accounts and servers: connect several Nextcloud accounts and servers at once, keeping work and personal separate.

Conflict handling and versions: simultaneous edits produce a conflict copy rather than an overwrite, and the server's version history restores earlier states.

Sharing and activity: generate a share link from the context menu, with the desktop client surfacing sharing and change activity.
