Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring: Built together, designed for the future

A decade of privacy, sovereignty and collaboration Ten years ago, we built Nextcloud to solve a problem that is even more pressing today: the dependence on centralized, proprietary software that threatens our privacy and sovereignty. Organizations need a future-proof framework to replace centralized, legacy collaboration tools. One that only open source can provide. From home clouds to large-scale enterprises, governments and industries, people are increasingly adopting Nextcloud as their digital workspace. It gives you choice: who controls your data, what tools you use and what it costs, how much privacy for you is enough privacy. True to the open source way, Nextcloud is a platform running on joint stewardship: our contributing community, our partners and our customers, and Nextcloud as company – a guarantor of stability and direction. We share what we build, so it’s built the best possible way. Innovation minus the Big Tech economics. Today we present Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring, our anniversary release. It gives you even more choice for your tools, a refined UI, stress-free collaboration, and the new platform strategy that enables developers to benefit even more from our vast ecosystem. Built together 🤝 Since 2016, Nextcloud GmbH has steered the direction, while Nextcloud and its platform remain a dedicated work of thousands. Developers, testers, translators, writers, and designers, some shaping Nextcloud from its inception, some joined us along the way. Customers and partners, service providers, universities and research organizations, and a variety of public entities contributing to Nextcloud and giving it valuable guidance. Nextcloud is here because we all care. Thanks to the best community in the world 💙 Nextcloud is not owned by anyone,it is owned by everyone. There’s no single entity that is more powerful than our community. We want to thank everyone who has been part of this movement over the past 10 years. Every contributor to Nextcloud and to this latest release. Together, you have shaped Nextcloud and advanced the entire open source movement. Kudos to everyone who contributed to Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring! 💪 1Marcin 208d9eb321757f3a38fdaa69b7b9e31b_3b9055c 87fabulous a160v abcmen achn.syps AdnanCekic agurzil aindriu80 aitzol76 albanobattistella alev_karash alexanderdd alexgabilondo alexthomsen Almanskis amigo7eleven AndiBing andremartinssw AndyScherzinger antreesy.web aptiko ar.benito arifpedia Argyle13 armort2 arne.meier artnay asandikci ashed asphalt Atalanttore atirut.wattanamongkol ayeteere baeklin Bala0997 beegii4870 bertptrs bistule bkyceh bostjanlaba bounkirdni_2025 Brozisko2011 bubu CaféTango casraf castillo92 Catherine_mFb chucbg1005 Creeki DanielRíos datcojhju dehdan derhagen devcraftfun devi69 dfkdream diamond_gr doc_nl dpincheira dpot DWXXX earrechea Edgarsons ega22a EGNAROJUICE ewen177 Fan_fr fbausch_t February30th felicijan fhermes Fjuro flaviove FranciscoFJ Fs00 golden0kamia H2CK hakamama handbros helmo42 henrique.mohr HristiyanBostandzhiev hvjhvlzl iametza ICOCA ilicz IndrekHaav Ivansss izreel javier JeBe Jeann Jérôme_HERBINET johny106 jonatan.nyberg juliushaertl KabbowRashid kamen911 kayazeren KekcuHa keyzox Khurshidboy kojima.imamura krzotr kshimohata.stylez kunny kurn77 Kwentin lc98 ldmpub lewa LHBit lilian.emming lj.pinho locness3 louwers LSC1759 lubos_kolouch luciomarinelli Ludo_code lynx312 m.shanni magdeflow maghog magicbretzel Mahdi856 maheshdkulkarni MarcRiera MarinoFaggiana MartinBonde Massis mathias234 matm mbouzada MegeKaplan mejo Mer0me meskobalazs mhamini340 mick.watcharaphong mikelgs milossramek MisigaroN Modestas_CreekPathAdvisors Moo mpiffault mumm n13i nciva nelson40514 neroline.doo nextcloud.dropper674 nguillermobryan nickvergessen nicolas_b nilsding ninux NorwayFun ohora0923 oleksa P0ld3rb0y paulk_transifex paulkater pavelb pcardi perdigueiro Percival77 Phonebook3599 pieterj pikerez polkhas procyon1121 rakekniven rikd Rinkana rmjvanderwerf ruben0909 j0wi jerome-herbinet joj0r s8321414 sallowrockery6z samimaat sara.pestana sebastiaanveld sevinfolds shams.tech.dev shyun49 Siggi0904 Simonth sjazz smart2128 Soko sopvkore Sp_service stevenryan54 sveinki svetlemodry SystemKeeper taiseiue TessyPowder TheBoloss ThibautPlg tigertall timewind tlend trungnm3 tsubasa_kesennuma ttyn uumas8 uzeconomist Valdnet valentinaolivotto vallo Vanmas89 vawaver victor_alves Viragom vitormattos vojta_o volkangezer william.meauzoone woutvdb XNoreX yohan.harroch YURU Zinnia zorn_v ACAPax adelaar AdOtjuh Andi29 apastuszak Apesorg Arthur-sib awelzel bahcecim bb77 bella1 Bernie_O bertroj best400test blinkystar bytecounter c0bra calim Capox catsclaw christianlupus corias dafanasiev DanGilbertTX DarkWixxard debasman DeirdreYoung Deni denyerec destripador disgustipated Dominus edward elephantao ErikDB ernolf farz23 fial foggy fooforever Forest.328 hairydog hanssa harryjal512 itztheJules JABAHOSTING JamesCRocks Jan_Vos jbarthel JimmyKater Joe_Hartzel JoFr jtr Kerasit kleinkariert konradmb Kraligor ladan.s Landrig Lucas martinfre matt4 MattEvansC3 mayari maztec memamo meonkeys mirkom misc mo_nxtcld mohamed_elbruki Mornsgrans mritzmann mwildam NEA1971 nico242 OmeLuuk poldi171254 ProfNova pTmix RailsViceRoads rakekniven RCoppens Robert4 roppa Sanook SarinaTietz scubamuc Sergej_Pligin smarinier smihael smokingwheels Stanload Stefan_Saegesser Stooovie Stoove_Wil supmike Suqie8e00 Terkosh tflidd theking2 Thomas88 ThomasG8235 Tidbit2160 tim.s usselite uwe2 vawaver vincen wpender wwe ycom1 zeralda zomtec2311 blizzz iva.horn Rello SysKeeper szaimen vnagornyy Adam Morgan Alexander Mäule allotropia software GmbH Andre Andreas Busslinger Andrey Borysenko Augustin64 Benjamin AIMARD Bernd Rederlechner Bernhard Posselt joshtrichards jro-signotec just4dead0502 justindoek kaijudo kibibytium koc konstiu Chen Asraf Christopher Ng Collabora Productivity Collabora Productivity based on work of Frank Karlitschek, Victor Dubiniuk In Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring, we elevate the interface with a refined, lighter design and multiple subtle improvements. Consider it a birthday glow-up! Your apps are now available via focused waffle menu for centralized access to all your apps. It reduces distraction and uses the interface space efficiently as your your library grows. We adjusted the shades in the left-side app navigation to reduce distraction and avoid visually competing with the primary button. Active tab in the right sidebar is now tinted and features a smaller, animated highlight bar. Based on the feedback from our community, we also improved usability and design in the settings and across many apps in Nextcloud Hub, including multiple minor papercut issues. Your choice: Nextcloud Office powered by Collabora or Euro-Office We have always offered multiple office suite options, letting you choose the integration that best fits your interoperability needs, user experience or security preferences. Today we are introducing a new office app and a range of improvements around Nextcloud Office. Today we are introducing Euro-Office. It is available as second default office suite option in Nextcloud Office, alongside Collabora-based suite of apps. Nextcloud Office by Euro-Office Powered by Euro-Office Good Nextcloud integration Open source Best performance Limited ODF compatibility Best Microsoft compatibility Nextcloud Office by Collabora Online Best Nextcloud integration Open source Good performance Best security: documents never leave your server Best ODF compatibility Best support for legacy files If you run a Nextcloud AIO, you can easily switch between two office options in the Nextcloud AIO web interface. Lets find out what’s new in the office apps in Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring. Customization, AI chat, and interoperability: Updates in Collabora Online ✨ The Collabora-based suite in Nextcloud Office gets updates across all editors with Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring, improving interoperability and delivering smoother experience. AI chat sidebar 💬 The new sidebar lets users chat with Nextcloud Assistant alongside the document. Like all AI tools in Nextcloud, it is optional and fully configurable. Customizable status bar ⚙️ Choose which indicators you want to see in your status bar, like word count, zoom controls, language selector, page numbers. Your preferences are remembered between sessions. Presentations: Slide sections and dynamic zoom 🏞️ The presentation editor now supports slide sections, making it much easier to structure and navigate larger presentations by grouping the slides. When you resize your window, presentation zoom is now re-calculated automatically to give you the optimal fit in both dimensions. Spreadsheets: smoother calculations and data organization 🔢 Need to quickly randomize data for sampling, demos, testing, or even selecting a winner? Spreadsheet editor now includes a new Shuffle action in the Sort split button. Cleaning sheets is safer now: deleting a cell that breaks formulas elsewhere triggers a warning so you can confirm or undo before the broken #REF! references affect calculations. You can now resize the autofilter dropdown in spreadsheets. Drag its edge to make it taller or wider so you can see more entries at once without scrolling. It’s particularly helpful for filters with long item lists. There are many other improvements in the Collabora Online-based Nextcloud Office app. Find the full list of key updates in the section below this blog. Euro-Office, a sovereign open source office built in Europe 🇪🇺 Euro-Office is here. It is a complete office suite with a set of collaborative editors for text documents, spreadsheets, presentations and PDF files. It features seamless collaboration, maximum compatibility with Microsoft Office files, and, thanks to its distinct architectural approach, delivers excellent browser performance while reducing server load. Features like Undo/Redo and Track Changes mode work independently in collaboration, making it flawless for multi-user editing sessions. Euro-Office lets you edit Nextcloud documents not only in the browser, but also on the go, directly within the Nextcloud app available on iOS and Android. For example, we already integrated the Smart Picker so you can insert links to content all across Nextcloud like Deck cards, calendars, chat rooms, files, locations and more. We also integrated the Nextcloud Assistant and Euro Office works with the Nextcloud file conversion API. That allows it to convert documents into other types, like a spreadsheet in a CSV or a markdown file into a PDF. True open source, shared governance 🌱 Euro-Office is a coordinated European initiative bringing together open source organizations, independent developers and civil society actors under a shared governance framework. Read more about the project and the next steps for Euro-Office in our latest announcement. Spotty connection? Nextcloud Text has your back 📶 We are constantly improving our markdown editor to make it more robust when your connection is unstable. Now it simply works even if you go fully offline, for up to 5 minutes. In Nextcloud Collectives, our knowledge sharing app based on Nextcloud Text, you can now browse pages from your cache even while offline, if you have opened them before. Easier data organization and sharing in Nextcloud Tables ♟️ Organizing data in your tables now takes less effort. You can now reorder, sort and pin table columns in a few clicks. Easily reorder views in your Tables-based applications. And additionally, you can delete and duplicate rows. Get more done together: share tables via public links with an ability to edit table contents. And finally, you can turn on notifications to get alerted about new actions with table or view data. Improved search and Smart Picker in Nextcloud Collectives Finding and sharing pages is now easier. We made search results better and more relevant by using a new database search in Nextcloud Collectives. When using Smart Picker to share a page, you will see page suggestions based on recently changed pages. Stress-free teamwork Let’s find a better balance in fast-paced teamwork. For those of you in motion between chats, emails, events, and projects, Nextcloud delivers one connected experience. With Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring, we make it even more integrated, adaptable, and simple. Call from anywhere and organize conversations 💬 When a task calls for quick question, start a call instantly from anywhere. Just click on the avatar of the person you need to reach, start the call, and chat while keeping on with your work. Are you a chat person? We also made organizing all your conversations a lot easier. First, you can sort conversations alphabetically or by recent activity to find relevant chats easier. Now your project chats, team conversations and off-topic rooms are nicely grouped. Assign tags to your conversations and group them by these tags. More in Nextcloud Talk: private replies to group messages, Voice Rooms, desktop client improvements By popular demand, we added a few more features in Nextcloud Talk. For example, you can reply to a group chat message privately to keep the conversation focused, and the reply will include the quote of the original message. We also added Voice Rooms with ongoing calls, allowing you to join a call instantly, and improved noise suppression with a more advanced option. In our desktop client, we added support for connecting multiple accounts, so you can add your work, personal or other Nextcloud Hub instances. We also enabled automatic updating of the client. In a big team, the more dependencies, the more you need to delegate. Managing a shared inbox, covering for a colleague on leave, or handling customer communication on someone’s behalf, delegation in Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring keep things moving: Nextcloud Mail: you can read and reply to emails on behalf of another person. Nextcloud Calendar: you can create events on behalf of another person and accept event invitations. Now you can also forward calendar invites to others and they can accept them, adding an event to their own calendar. Event organizers can disable invite forwarding to protect sensitive meetings. Better interoperability in Nextcloud Mail 📮 We enabled full read-write support for external CalCAV and CardDAV, adding an ability to connect external calendars and address books to yours respectively. For example, you can browse events from Zimbra, OpenXchange, or a private calendar server, and all the events you create in Nextcloud will appear there. Nextcloud Deck: Gantt charts, card dependencies, and more 📊 More for your project management in Nextcloud Deck. We introduce card dependencies and start dates in addition to end dates, so you can get a better overview of your tasks’ timeline. You can build Gantt charts based on your Nextcloud Deck boards, mapping all the task dependencies and timelines onto one view. Drag’n’drop cards, choose between day/week/month views and color-code your timelines. That’s not all updates for your next project. Assign whole teams and groups to cards and see card authors. Choose a board to open by default when launching Nextcloud Deck. Customize your boards: define column for completed tasks and add custom card backgrounds. New agent tools and improved performance in Nextcloud Assistant 🧠 Nextcloud Assistant helps you be confident about what happens to your data tomorrow. It gives you what data-hungry cloud chats can’t: control and choice. Know how your AI works, choose where it runs, and pick only the tools you need. With Nextcloud Hub 26 Spring, we give it more hands and make it even more powerful. Universal Search and more app data 🔎 Nextcloud Assistant can now use Unified Search in your Nextcloud Hub to find any items based in fewer steps. This works via Context Agent feature. It also knows data in your apps better, helping you find items and perform new actions in file system, emails, tasks, forms, Nextcloud Deck boards and cards, and more. Chat and context menu action on mobile 🤳 You can now chat with Nextcloud Assistant on mobile. And it’s better integrated with your device: use the context menu on iOS or Android to ask the Assistant to work with any text you come across. Improved performance and backend interoperability ⚡️ Nextcloud Assistant receives better background job scheduling and configurability, delivering faster replies from context-enabled tasks and many other performance improvements. We also worked on the architecture, enabling support for Kubernetes for Context Chat features and LLM2. Flexible UI 📍 You can now drag and resize the Nextcloud Assistant UI. This let’s you work in any other apps while using Nextcloud Assistant on the side. Where apps become a team: Nextcloud platform for developers Nextcloud Hub highly adaptable across industries and use cases. It’s designed to be extended, integrated and adapted, rather than limiting the choices of the administrator to a single vendor or a controlled selection of integrations. We empower independent developers and vendors even more through Nextcloud platform. Empowering independent developers 💙 Nextcloud is built together, and we want to make it easier to participate. We are revising our developer support strategy, which includes cleaning up our documentation, improving tutorials, introducing more stable APIs and establishing better communication channels with developers. To put this into practice, we are launching a dedicated Developer Relations team led by Anna Larch. Say hi! Announcing Nextcloud ISV program 🌱 Nextcloud is more than a company or a product. It’s a platform, one we shape together with our community and organizations in our ecosystem. In the next chapter, we want to be good stewards and do more than just offer our app building tools. We are introducing the Nextcloud ISV program to help independent software vendors (ISVs) grow their audience, promote apps and provide support to their customers via the Nextcloud platform.
