Kudos to @SURF for an incredibly smooth transition of #surfdrive from owncloud to nextcloud.
@voorstad BTW, yes, @Radboud_uni suports #NextCloud too. It's called #SurfDrive, see: https://surfdrive.surf.nl/
@SURF This isn't the answer I was hoping for. I see two solutions: either #Surf provide better collaboration options for non-university partners, or there's a massive lobbying effort to make ALL educational institutions, museums, archives or national bodies like the KNHG use #SurfDrive in the near future. At the moment, #Surf really seems to be difficult to use in larger projects and in projects with an #outreach or #publicengagement component, although this is really what all the funders want.
@SURF I am trying to encourage colleagues to use #SurfDrive, & we can add colleagues from other #universities, but the KNHG & one of the teacher associations we work with do not have direct access. They use our folders via a public link with password protection but cannot use the client to sync files to their computers. I think this problem does not motivate colleagues to move away from #Google or #DropBox. With our German university #filesharing service Seafile, we could invite external users.
