Exciting news! Roundcube has found a new home within Nextcloud with a historic partnership announcement. This marks a significant step towards decentralized solutions for groupware and online team collaboration. As a managed hosting service that also offers Nextcloud hosting solutions, we at Cloud68.co are thrilled about this development and its potential impact on email management within Nextcloud.

Roundcube is more than just a webmail app; it’s a robust, open-source platform that plays a pivotal role in email communication. Its importance lies in providing a solid, open-source foundation for those who value secure and reliable email services. For anyone interested in email-ing with a solid open-source platform, Roundcube has been a go-to choice, for everyone in need of an email front end with a modern user interface, privacy and security.

Nextcloud, on the other hand, is the most solid open source solution if you are interested in regaining control over your data. It offers a platform that empowers organizations and teams to take charge of their data. In addition, the open-source nature of Nextcloud aligns with our commitment to providing managed hosting services for platforms that prioritize user autonomy and data security.

Roundcube Joining Nextcloud

At Cloud68.co, we’ve been utilizing Roundcube both individually and professionally, and this new collaboration has our team members excited. The integration of Roundcube into the Nextcloud suite of apps signifies a recognition by the Nextcloud development team of the pivotal role email plays in various settings, from small and medium teams to individuals and larger organizations. The email management landscape within Nextcloud has seen experimentation with apps like Snappy Mail and the official Nextcloud Mail app. While these apps have demonstrated strengths, there have also been glitches and areas that require improvement. The addition of Roundcube holds promise, indicating a deeper commitment from the Nextcloud team to refine the email experience within Nextcloud. As the Nextcloud team works on incorporating Roundcube in future releases of Nextcloud Hub, we’re closely monitoring the developments. It’s too early to provide a detailed overview of the integration, but our team is eager to witness how this collaboration will enhance the email management capabilities within Nextcloud.

Looking forward

As mentioned previously, the latest development of Roundcube joining Nextcloud adds a crucial element for small and medium teams looking to migrate away from Big Tech. It positions Nextcloud Hub as the ideal virtual office, not only for teams but also for non-profit organizations seeking digital autonomy. The collaboration between Nextcloud and Roundcube symbolizes a collective strength within the open-source community, reinforcing the values of privacy, security, and user empowerment. For more information on the partnership, you can refer to the official blog post and press release here. We’re looking forward to see the what the future brings for Nextcloud, Roundcube, and the community that champions free software as an independent and solid alternative to big cloud services.
