The Nextcloud Podcast

In this 16th episode, our host Ingo talked with Daphne Muller, the Support lead at Nextcloud. Daphne shared with us the interesting story that led her to Nextcloud, her well-known Tedx talk on privacy and much more!

During my academic research about future of technology and also questioning how the future could look if privacy and open source become really big, if privacy would be truly respected, I was looking into different open source companies. And I was so excited to learn how Nextcloud has set up the organization. They manage to have a sustainable business model, good product, and happy users!

If we want to make progress we have to collect or hand out LESS personal data, if we do so we get better innovation, financially healthier business models, more competition in the market and most importantly, more humanity.

Here you can hear Daphne’s talk at TedxVenlo about how we CAN have privacy – if we would make the right choices. And as we all care about privacy, we’re very proud that Daphne gave such an amazing and important talk. We hope it will educate many people on the benefits and possibilities for privacy.

Can organizations who rely on personal data collection ever be respectful of human rights? If not, are these good for our progress?

UX Design is more about how usable and intuitive a piece of software is. Making it optimized for usability is sort of what we do. Consistency in design is very important, especially when you have a lot of apps, shared Nimisha.

How people perceive a piece of software is a very interesting thing to me and that’s how I got interested in design. I think the best way to learn Design is just to make things and get feedback on them. I’ve learned the most after I started contributing to Nextcloud and getting feedback for my work. I value open source and the culture, idea and philosophy behind it.

Nimisha originally applied for a mentorship program in design, and you can find more information about it here.

Learn more about what hosting.de is, how and why they chose Nextcloud, and the simple and quick steps of getting started with Nextcloud, either as a home or business user.

We decided to go for Nextcloud because Nextcloud is more targeted to be a collaboration platform than just only file storage, and that was very attractive. We thought that this collaboration platform is also something clients will like to use. It has a big ecosystem, and is maintained very well and we decided to offer it as a product to our customers too. We see it as a solution for real world problems, for users that want a safe storage for their data.

While they say that the demand for Nextcloud is high, the goal is to make the experience as smooth as possible, find the simplest way for everyone to have data stored in a safe place. To better explain what Nextcloud offers on certain topics, they cover it in a hosting.de blog section.
