The new integration between Zimbra and Nextcloud is finally available.
Business collaboration becomes even simpler and more efficient thanks to the new integration features between Zimbra and Nextcloud. This significant evolutionary update allows you to manage attachments and documents more intelligently, improving productivity, security, and file control.
Let’s discover all the new features together.
🔗 Direct access to Nextcloud files from Zimbra

🗂 Dedicated button to open Nextcloud in a new tab
From the Zimbra tab, you have complete access to all your NextCloud files and folders directly from webmail.

To set up your account within the zimlet, click the Nextcloud tab and, after entering the NextCloud server, username, and password provided during service activation, click the “OK” button.
Using the NextCloud Client
The Nextcloud client is an application that allows you to synchronize files between your computer (or smartphone) and a Nextcloud server, much like Google Drive or Dropbox-but with more control over your data.
