HomeGetting Started with Nextcloud
Server Overview & Data Independence
Our Nextcloud platform is hosted on a self-managed, private server, ensuring complete control over data and operations. All files are stored using WebDAV internal storage, eliminating the need for third-party services and keeping your data secure, private, and independent from external influences.
Open Registration & Community Growth
We’ve enabled open registration, allowing anyone to join and contribute to The White Archive, Weissism, or General Collaboration groups. This fosters an environment of community-driven growth, where users can choose their level of involvement and new groups can be added seamlessly.
