Nextcloud — File Sync, Sharing & Cloud Storage

Nextcloud is a self-hosted file sync and sharing platform. Store files, share them with others, and access them from any device — all under your control.

Access

Features

  • File storage and synchronization across devices
  • Share files and folders via link or with specific users
  • Integrated calendar (CalDAV) and contacts (CardDAV)
  • Office suite integration for viewing and editing documents
  • End-to-end encryption support (optional)

Getting Started

  1. Open https://cloud.mynest.love in your browser.
  2. Click Sign In and choose Sign in with The Nest.
  3. Upload files via the web interface or use a sync client.

Sync Clients

Nextcloud provides official clients for:

  • Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux (Download)
  • Mobile: iOS and Android (App Store)
  • WebDAV: Configure any DAV-compatible app with the URL above

Calendar & Contacts Sync

Add these to your device's calendar/contacts app:

Type Protocol URL
Calendar CalDAV https://cloud.mynest.love/remote.php/dav/principals/your-username/
Contacts CardDAV https://cloud.mynest.love/remote.php/dav/principals/your-username/

Sign in with your Nest credentials when prompted.

Tips

  • File versioning: Nextcloud keeps previous versions of files. Right-click a file → Versions to restore an older copy.
  • Sharing links: Create shareable links with expiration dates and password protection for sensitive files.
  • Offline access: Use the desktop sync client to keep a local copy of your files for offline work.

Backups

Nextcloud user data is backed up daily at 02:00 EST using Restic to Backblaze B2. Configuration files are snapshotted via Longhorn's recurring backup jobs.
