FAQ
General Questions
What problem does OpenCloud solve for me?
1. Simplified Administration
OpenCloud is designed to be straightforward to set up and manage, allowing administrators to handle the system with minimal effort and without unnecessary complexity.
2. Independent File-sharing
OpenCloud is designed to give you a privacy-focused alternative to mainstream platforms like Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive, freeing you from reliance on big tech services and their data-collection practices.
How does OpenCloud differ from other open source file sharing applications?
OpenCloud is simpler and more reliable than existing PHP-based solutions. OpenCloud stands out by offering a radically simplified architecture compared to other open-source file-sharing solutions. While many alternatives require maintaining complex stacks involving multiple components like PHP, MySQL, Redis, and Apache — creating a web of dependencies and potential security risks—OpenCloud avoids this entirely. It writes data directly to disk instead of relying on a dedicated database, making it much easier to maintain and far more reliable. With OpenCloud, you can focus on your files without worrying about intricate setups or data loss risks.
Is OpenCloud 100% open source?
Yes. The source code of OpenCloud is licenced under the Apache 2 licence.
Cost and Licensing
Is OpenCloud free to use?
Yes, please!
Can I use it for commercial purposes?
Absolutely!
If OpenCloud is free, how are the employees paid?
We're glad you asked.
We provide a paid support subscription, see https://opencloud.eu/en/product/service-and-support. With a support subscription you’ll be the first to know about security vulnerabilities and receive detailed instructions on how to address them or how to integrate OpenCloud into your existing systems and storage. We also provide Long-Term-Support if you don't want to upgrade your system so frequently.
Are there educational or non-profit discounts or support plans?
Please contact sales for such inquiries and we'll find a good sulution.
Privacy and Security
✏️ How does OpenCloud ensure the privacy of my data?
PLEASE FILL OUT
✏️Is my data encrypted, and how is encryption implemented?
Yes, OpenCloud supports encryption.
Starting with Transport Encryption, OpenCloud supports Server-side Encryption on S3 with SSE.
E2EE Client-Side Encryption is handled exclusively via OS-native encryption
✏️How is access control managed to prevent unauthorized access?
OpenCloud emphasizes secure authentication and uses the Industry standard OIDC as our secure authentication protocol. Multi-Factor Authentication is strengthening the security of authentication further.
✏️Does OpenCloud support Multi-Factor-Authentication (2FA / MFA)?
[FreeOTP](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fedorahosted.freeotp&hl=de-CH)
Yes, OpenCloud does support MFA via KeyCloak. KeyCloak offers several different MFA procedures:
-
One-time passcodes (OTP): Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) generated with apps such as Google Authenticator or FreeOTP. This is the most commonly used method in KeyCloak and is supported natively.
-
SMS or email codes: The second factor is sent to the user via SMS or email. However, this method is considered less secure and is not recommended by the BSI, for example.
-
Push notifications: Integration with external providers enables authentication via push TAN or mobile tokens, as is familiar from banking apps.
-
Passkeys: Modern authentication with passwordless logins via FIDO2/WebAuthn, e.g., biometric methods or security keys (YubiKey), is also supported.
-
Hardware tokens: External physical devices (e.g., YubiKey, other FIDO2 tokens, smart cards) are also supported.
-
Biometric methods: Depending on the integration, biometric factors (e.g., fingerprint, facial recognition) are possible with FIDO2.
Expansion options
- KeyCloak Extensions enable geo- or IP-dependent rules, custom policies, and further integrations with third-party MFA solutions.
Does OpenCloud comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA?
Yes, of course!
Features and Functionality
What types of files can I store and share with OpenCloud?
No restrictions. You can store and share any filetype. If neccessary, you can restrict the upload of certain filetypes like .exe or documents with makros like xlsm.
Is there a upload file size limit in OpenCloud?
Nope.
Does OpenCloud support real-time collaboration and editing?
Yes. We use the WOPI standard for realtime collabration in the web office application Collabora.
Can I create and manage user accounts and permissions?
Yes, you can either use the built-in user management system or integrate OpenCloud with your existing identity management.
Are there mobile apps, and do they offer the same features as the desktop version?
We provide apps for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android. Please refer to the roadmap to see when the apps will be available: https://opencloud.eu/roadmap
Does OpenCloud support versioning?
Yes. In case you made a mistake, you can always jump back to older versions of a file. We got your back!
Deployment and Installation
Can I self-host OpenCloud on my own server?
Yes and we encourage you to do so! (We do not provide a SaaS service that stores your files on our servers, like Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive do.)
What are the system requirements for hosting OpenCloud?
The system requirements for hosting OpenCloud depend heavily on the number of concurrent users and the workload they generate, such as the frequency of their requests. OpenCloud is versatile—it can run on anything from a Raspberry Pi to a large data center setup.
For example, a Raspberry Pi 4 can support hundreds of registered users, but the key factor is the number of users actively using the system at the same time. Concurrent users, especially those using desktop or mobile clients (which frequently check for updates), require more resources. Additional features like the web office integration Collabora or antivirus scanning also impact performance.
For a minimal setup, OpenCloud can comfortably support 20 concurrent users browsing files via the web interface. As your user base or workload increases, scaling the hardware accordingly will ensure smooth performance. A factor to scale performance is just to add storage, as OpenCloud needs storage IOPS for performance.
Key Factors for Optimal Performance:
- Storage IOPS: The performance of OpenCloud highly relies on the amount of IOPS of your storage - the more, the better.
- Network throughput: Another factor for enhancing the performance of OpenCloud is network throughput in distributed storage.
How difficult is it to set up, and is technical expertise required?
One of our goals is to make the deployment of OpenCloud as simple as possible. Depending on your expereince, it's possible to set up a basic OpenCloud instance in less than 1 minute. See https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/category/getting-started-1
Can it be deployed in a Docker or Kubernetes environment?
Yes.
- Docker Compose: The docker compose files are maintained and tested by us.
- Community HELM charts: Feel free to contribute!
Customization and Extensibility
✏️Can I customize OpenCloud’s interface or features?
PLEASE FILL OUT
✏️Does OpenCloud support plugins or extensions for additional functionality?
PLEASE FILL OUT
✏️Are there APIs available for integration with other software?
PLEASE FILL OUT
Can I add modifications like add-ons or extensions?
Yes, OpenCloud allows you customizations:
- Wordings: You can replace specific terms, such as changing the word “Spaces” to “Datarooms” to better fit your terminology.
- Extensions: The web UI also supports custom web extensions. Check out our developer documentation [here] to learn how to get started with creating and adding your own extensions and find existing extensions [here].
Collaboration and Sharing
How does file sharing work within OpenCloud?
OpenCloud offers three main ways to share files, making it easy to collaborate and manage access:
1. Personal Share: Share files with registered users within your organization. You can assign permissions such as view, edit, or download, providing flexible control over file access.
2. Share via Link: Share files with anyone, even outside your organization, by generating a link. No account is required for accessing the file.
3. Spaces: Spaces are user-independent datarooms that belong to the organization rather than an individual. This ensures files remain within the organization, even if users leave. Examples of Spaces include school classes, collaborative projects, or organizational units like Marketing, Sales, or Finance. Spaces are easier for admins to manage, as they can be self-managed by designated users.
Special Feature: Secret File Drop
The Secret File Drop allows anonymous users to securely upload files (e.g., homework, photos or even whistleblower material) without needing an account.
Can I share files with external users?
Yes. You can share files with anyone, even outside your organization, by generating a link. No account is required for accessing the file. Link sharing can be disabled if needed.
Does it support federated sharing between different instances?
Yes, federated sharing is possible via Open Cloud Mesh (OCM). This feature allows you to securely share files and collaborate across different instances, even if they are hosted by different organizations.
For example, a company with multiple branches in different regions could use OCM to share files between instances, enabling collaboration across teams while maintaining control over local data.
Are there limits on the number of users or size of files shared?
No.
Data Management
Where is my data stored, and can I choose the storage location?
OpenCloud is a fully self-hosted (on-premise) solution, meaning you have complete control over where your data is stored. You can choose the server and country where OpenCloud will be installed. Unlike SaaS services like Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, which store your files on their servers, OpenCloud gives you full control over your data, ensuring privacy and security on your terms.
Does it support integration with third-party storage solutions like S3 Storage?
Yes, the following storage can be used:

How often is OpenCloud updated, and how are updates delivered?
Download updates on download.opencloud.eu or via docker hub.
OpenCloud is released in three different release types: Production, Rolling and Daily. Each of them is targeted to a specific use case and audience group:
Production
2 x per year
- Stable and tested release, suitable for critical data.
- Slow cycle, but most stable with slow feature additions.
- Patch releases are provided for critical- and security-bugs as defined by OpenCloud support regulations.
Rolling
Every 3 weeks
- Chances are high that some manual testing has happened, yet not structured.
- Features are mostly completed. An upgrade path from the previous rolling release is provided and tested. - Great release to use with non critical data.
- Critical bugs are guaranteed to be fixed with the next rolling release.
Daily
Every 24 hours
- Mainly for test use cases. As the releases are done completely unattended, only the automatic test suite has tested the release. Manual testing was only applied by chance.
- Based on OpenCloud strong test suite the daily releases are pretty stable, but the risk of unfinished changes is high.
- For example, if a feature requires three commits, and only one was committed, the daily is cut anyway.
Backup and Recovery

Integration and Interoperability
✏️Can OpenCloud integrate with existing enterprise tools like LDAP, Active Directory, or SSO?
PLEASE FILL OUT
✏️ Are there integrations with productivity tools (e.g., Office, Collabora, OnlyOffice)?
Yes, you can integrate Collabora as your web office solution. Once integrated, you can create new Collabora documents in OpenCloud, open them, and collaborate in real time with others.
OpenCloud supports the WOPI Protocol, so other office solutions can be integrated too. Office365 do not support the integration of Microsoft Office or OnlyOffice, as they do not meet our security standards.
✏️ Does OpenCloud work with existing monitoring or analytics systems?
PLEASE FILL OUT
Migration
Can I migrate from ownCloud or Nextcloud?
Yes, there will be a migration available at the end of March 2025.
Compliance and Legal
Is OpenCloud compliant with GDPR (DSGVO) or HIPAA?
Yes, of course!
Is the OpenCloud Web UI accessible according to EN 301 549 / WCAG / BITV 2.0?
Yes, the OpenCloud Web UI is accessible according to EN 301 549, WCAG, and BITV 2.0. We believe that accessibility is important for everyone, not just for individuals with disabilities, as it benefits all users at some point in their lives.
As we release new features every 3 weeks, we ensure that accessibility is integrated into the feature development lifecycle. While we strive to maintain high accessibility standards, we’re only human and occasional mistakes may happen. If a new feature unintentionally impacts accessibility, we treat it as a bug and address it in the next release.
If you encounter any accessibility violations, please let us know so we can promptly resolve the issue.
✏️ Are audit logs available for compliance tracking?
PLEASE FILL OUT
Can access controls and permissions be configured to meet regulatory requirements?
Yes, OpenCloud offers robust access control and permission settings that can be fully configured to meet various regulatory requirements. You can define user roles, assign specific permissions, and set up granular access controls to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and others. With OpenCloud, you have the flexibility to control who accesses your data, what actions they can perform, and how data is shared, ensuring that your system remains secure and compliant with the required regulations.
How does it handle requests for data access or deletion under GDPR?
OpenCloud provides users with the ability to trigger a GDPR Export in a self-service manner. This export generates a detailed report of all personal data stored in the context of OpenCloud, excluding the user’s own files. The report includes relevant data related to the user’s account and activity within the system, ensuring transparency and compliance with GDPR requirements. For the deletion of personal files, users have full control to manage and remove their own data as needed.
