History of the Nextcloud
Karlitschek forked ownCloud to build Nextcloud, which was released in April 2016. The majority of ownCloud’s main contributors departed alongside Karlitschek to join forces in the new Nextcloud project, which is administered by Nextcloud GmbH, a new business that was founded at the same time. Within six months, Nextcloud GmbH was profitable, and it is still successful today, with the Nextcloud project under its management.
Difference Between Owncloud VS Nextcloud
ownCloud is a client-server software suite that allows you to create and use file hosting services. ownCloud is similar to the popular Dropbox in terms of functionality. OwnCloud is mostly server software, whereas Dropbox is primarily client software. (OwnCloud.online is a hosted service for the company.) Because ownCloud’s Server Edition is free and open-source, anyone can install and run it on their own private server for no cost.
