In this age of digitalization that we live, for any organization online work is fundamental and urgent, so we are very used to the concept of virtual office. This implies that it is necessary to store the information of the organization in the cloud to be able to work from anywhere, to share documents among its members, etc.

We know services like Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox. They offer us options for storing, sharing and syncing documents between devices. But do we know the risks of transferring our data to private companies like Google or Microsoft? And what can we do if these tools don't adapt to how our organization works?

Nextcloud is an ethical and independent alternative to these multinationals. It is a free software that allows you to build your own cloud on web servers, preserving data privacy. In addition to document storage and sharing space, it integrates other features such as the Talk system for video calls, calendar, email, surveys...

In addition, as it is free software, there is a greater chance of adapting to the needs of each organization and of working in Basque.

Asier Etxeberria, member of Iametza will present at the Euskarabildua conference the characteristics of the Nextcloud software.

The Euskarabildua Day will be held on October 26 at the San Telmo Museum of Donostia and is organized by ARGIA, along with companies from the Iametza and AmetzagaiƱa group. Interested people can register on the Euskera website.
