The post Desktop 3.8: End-to-End Encryption levels up with sharing and file-drop appeared first on Nextcloud.

E2EE improvements in Hub 4
End-to-end encryption is designed to keep a sub-set of super important data confidential, even in the worst case of a server breach. Its value goes beyond breaches, however. In some situations in large organizations, an extra layer of security is needed because you might not be allowed to trust the system administrators. Think of the financial details of a corporation that is on the stock market. Or simply the employee dossiers from the HR department. Even admins should not gain access to those. This is what End-to-End encryption makes possible.
With Hub 4 and the 3.8.0 version of the desktop client come two improvements to end-to-end encryption.
First, we introduce sharing. Before, after picking a folder for end-to-end encryption, users could work in this folder and access it from all their clients, mobile and desktop, but not share it. It is now possible for the HR team to share their folders with confidential dossiers with each other, or the Finance department to prepare the quarterly report together.
The second feature brings File Drop to E2EE. You may already use File Drop – the Nextcloud feature that allows your external personnel, clients and partners to easily upload files to a secure cloud folder through a hyperlink.
With the new Nextcloud Hub 4 release, File Drop now includes the option to upload files to End-to-End Encrypted folders for increased security in your organization.
Receive confidential files in a secure, trustworthy way without worrying about breaches. It’s simple, secure and a no fuss file exchange.
Going back to the HR department – the team can now send job applicants a link where they can securely upload their resume’s directly in an end-to-end encrypted folder, shared in the HR team. And the Finance team can receive external financial information in an easy and secure way.
Version 3.8.0 of the desktop client is now available for download on our website. If you have the Windows or Mac clients, they will download the update and ask you to install/upgrade. As Linux user, you can either get the new Appimage or let your distro packaging system take care of it.

]]>The post 600 Employees at Berlin NGO AWO Collaborate through Nextcloud appeared first on Nextcloud.
]]>
AWO Berlin-Mitte is a major provider of social work and welfare programs in Berlin. They are a volunteer and membership organization with 1,300 members and provide services ranging from managing day care centers for children, aid for people with disabilities and the homeless, services for refugees seeking asylum, housing and counseling and more.
As a result of the pandemic, a large part of the organization’s consulting and administrative work shifted to remote working. To enable their employees and volunteers to have the flexibility to work from home, they needed a solution. Furthermore, AWO Berlin-Mitte placed a high importance on having the new solution be 100% GDPR compliant, unlike other popular platforms like Microsoft and Google. That’s why the esteemed social work association looked to Nextcloud.
“Nextcloud made it possible for us to work under Covid-19 conditions.”
– Peter Reif, IT and Data Management at AWO Berlin-Mitte
Nextcloud provides AWO Berlin-Mitte a secure, online collaboration platform that fits their needs. For communicating and collaborating with colleagues on a daily basis, employees use Nextcloud Talk, Deck, Tasks and Polls. Access Control Lists are a key feature for security and meeting GDPR requirements makes Nextcloud the ideal solution.
GDPR compliant solution
Every day, employees at Berlin-Mitte are working with individual’s personal data case by case. The social workers have a responsibility to protect this confidential data from leaking. With Nextcloud, employees can process, store and delete any personal data without having to worry about privacy, as the data stays on servers 100% controlled by AWO.
Meeting the data protection requirements of Europe and Germany was a crucial factor in AWO Berlin-Mitte’s decision making process. Nextcloud provides AWO Berlin-Mitte a secure, online collaboration platform that fits their needs.
Infinite collaboration
Currently, Nextcloud is actively being used by approximately 600 of AWO Berlin’s employees.
“Users welcomed and are enjoying the collaborative nature in Nextcloud. With Talk, they can communicate one on one or in teams as well as share documents, spreadsheets and presentations. With Deck, they can organize and prioritize tasks individually or in a collaboration in teams.”
– AWO Berlin-mitte
With a wide range of integrations and apps, including Mindmap, Tasks, and Polls, Nextcloud has become an indispensable tool for streamlining collaboration efforts.
In the future, AWO Berlin plans to add its volunteers to Nextcloud too – so all members of the organization will be able to collaborate together!
Key feature for AWO: ACLs
For Berlin-Mitte, having configurable group folders that allow for special access and authorization permissions was a key to their success. This was especially important while dealing with confidential data in complex services.
Now administrators have control over what their team can do within a folder, subfolder or document. This system is called an ACL or Access Control List and lets the administrator choose who can read, write, create, delete, share and download a folder or document. Group folders give the authority to administrators while still creating a collaborative environment for employees.

]]>The post Nextcloud Enterprise Day recap – and chance to book for the next! appeared first on Nextcloud.
]]>Twice a year, Nextcloud hosts Enterprise Day for all prospective and current customers. It’s a great opportunity to gain more information about Nextcloud, discuss changing demands in business and their impact on IT security, as well as talk personally to our experts, customers, partners, and guest speakers.
Enterprise Day provides IT professionals like project managers and decision makers the opportunity to define their own strategy to get the most out of their Content Collaboration Platform.
Last June, Enterprise Day was hosted at the dazzling Raddisson Collection Hotel. The Raddisson is located at the edge of Alexanderplatz, directly next to the DDR Museum and Berliner Dom, as well as across the street from the Humboldt Forum. Come for the talks, drinks, and conversations, and stay to explore the illuminous city of Berlin!
The day started out with a welcoming coffee as people made their way in and got settled. We like everyone to be able to ease into the day and have the chance to say a few hellos before the main event begins. From there, everyone gathered in the spacious meeting room where Nextcloud’s owner and CEO, Frank Karlitschek, gave an enlightening intro into Nextcloud’s company goals and future vision.
Frank’s opening session was followed by a variety of talks, beginning with a product overview and followed by a session from our productivity partners Collabora and Sendent, covering Nextcloud Office and our Microsoft Outlook integration. After lunch, Maxime Le Héricy, our Sales Engineer in France, started his talk by comparing a Proof of Concept with drilling a well – you need to go through the steps carefully to make sure things work out for you!
The afternoon also saw a session where the participants discussed their needs with the Nextcloud management team and closed with the presentation of a number of case studies in the Health, Government, Education, and Enterprise sectors.
Once the official event adjourned, everyone was invited to the hotel bar on the main floor to have a drink, relax after a long day, and continue conversations. This bar happened to showcase a gigantic fish tank in the middle of the hotel called the AquaDom! The AquaDom is a 25 meter tall, cylindrical acrylic glass aquarium with a built-in transparent elevator for viewing fish. In fact, it’s the largest free-standing cylindrical aquarium in the world!
You’re in luck, as our next Enterprise Day will also be held at the Raddisson, so you can experience it for yourself!
Join us on October 4 at the Raddisson for another full day of talks, conversations, and networking!

Cloud centered, cloud focused
For some time now, Stadtsparkasse München has been running an on-premises Nextcloud server to exchange confidential data with customers. More recently, in 2020, the bank decided that they wanted to transfer all their internal managed systems to the data centers of competent, regional partners. With a Gold Partnership with Nextcloud, HKN stood out as an ideal partner for running their Nextcloud services.
Nextcloud offers a unique on-premises solution for financial services companies.
HKN delivers Nextcloud on its open cloud
With 25 years of experience in hosting Linux applications, HKN was more than capable to deliver quality results with all Stadtsparkasse’s requirements for a provider. From being a German based data center, to having significant migration experience, their top five requirements were met.
For several months, HKN was there throughout the entire process, ensuring a smooth migration and testing every detail. The end result satisfied employees and administrators.
By switching to HKN’s Open Cloud, Stadtsparkasse München achieved high availability, scalability, DSGVO-compliant hosting, and more.
Nextcloud Enterprise & beyond
Through HKN, Stadtsparkasse München benefits from Nextcloud Enterprise advantages like improved security, stability and of course direct access to our top engineers.
As a highly trusted financial institution, Stadtsparkasse München has always been looking a step ahead to provide the most advanced, modern, and secure solutions that deliver the best service to their valued customers in Munich and beyond.
