Files

Nextcloud · like Google Drive

Nextcloud is your own cloud storage — upload your documents, keep them in sync across devices and share by link. Like Drive, but at home.

Serverfiles.irminsul.ukOpen the service

It works like a folder that lives on the server and mirrors to your devices. On your computer you get a Nextcloud folder — whatever you drop in is instantly on your phone and on the web too. You share a file or whole folder with a link (optionally with a password and expiry), and older versions can be restored if you overwrite something.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Install the Nextcloud app (App Store or Google Play).

  2. 2

    Enter the server address (see Server above) and confirm.

  3. 3

    Sign in via “Login with Authentik” and grant access.

  4. 4

    Optionally enable Auto upload for phone photos and files.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • You can password-protect a share link and give it an expiry date.
  • Sync large folders selectively so they don't fill your whole disk.
  • The app and web also do Calendar and Contacts if you ever want them.
