      @FATeknollogee On Nextcloud.com you can download fully configured VMs. Should be easy to run. 🙂

      We have some pretty easy install instructions around ML, too. And I'm working on same DevOps installation methods right now. Hoping to have a Salt installer for the single node installation soon. Perfect for installing on Scale or Vultr, for example.

        Normal users can't be asked to type something in. Heck it's hard enough sometimes getting them to browse through and find the s: drive.

        To make this really user-centric, it needs to have a button inside the save dialog that allows them to browse to where they want to open/save a file, like JB's example.

        My whole thinking is a way to move from the current workflows of today and network shares to a future workflow of accessing things directly through the apps.

        This is how most mobile apps work.

          If WebDAV works, just in theory, what would be nice is an integration so that we can push it out to MS Office somehow.

          Or likewise, to LibreOffice 😉

            I was assuming anything would be easy with LibreOffice.

              Any plans for more of a Nexcloud "appliance" , say a NAS with Nexcloud integrated. Love the Raspberry Pi WD project but one still has to provide the Pi

                I'm not a Windows expert. But isn't there a way to create a network share entry in the save dialog for all users. A WebDAV entry is similar to a normal network share entry.

                  Yes. We hope that more and more hardware manufacturers ship boxes with Nextcloud installed. We ourselves are not in the hardware business. But if someone knows someone who could/should ship Nextcloud preinstalled then we should talk and recommend this. 🙂

                    Probably 🙂 I know that it has WebDAV in a dropdown. I bet there is a text file that holds those details or something.

                      Synology, ReadyNAS... those would be great to see.

                        @NetServer has it built in now with the 7.3 release.

                          On the software side, a couple of projects offer something like that. @alefattorini talked about one - Nethserver. And there is Univention's UCS which is a bit like that for SMB. And the Snaps from the Nextcloud Box can be put on any device/os that supports it (most linux'es).

                          With hardware - yeah, it would be nice to have a NAS with Nextcloud sold out of the box... We are talking to the guys doing the Omnia router, perhaps that'll come with Nextcloud some day 😉

                          And maybe somebody wants to start a business? We would be happy to help and if you need hard drives, let me know, I know some ppl at a big storage vendor 😛

                            There should be a SAM-SD with NextCloud integrated out of the box. I wonder who we'd talk to about that.

                                    Honestly my biggest hurdle at the moment is to keep up with all the requests and feedback. A lot of people are interested in Nextcloud. #IOT

                                          I am not actually using NextCloud anywhere yet because of existing ownCloud installations that have yet to be migrated.

                                          I noticed that with version 11 there are some issues with compatibility in the Android app and that it is now required to migrate to the NextCloud app.

                                          Are there any compatibility issues yet with the desktop sync clients? Changing all users once I migrate the server is a non-trivial task.

                                            Are there any plans to actually integrate an email server or just to remain as a client? Not saying that that is my vote either way, just interested in the email roadmap.
