About Nextcloud Dev
A safe home for all your data. Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more from any device, on your terms. This is the developer version of the official Nextcloud Android app. * Do not install this version for your productive work! * Intended for users willing to test new features and report bugs if they occur. * Includes brand-new, untested features which might lead to instabilities and data loss. * Can be installed alongside the official Nextcloud app (which is available at F-Droid, too). * The main source code branch is checked once a day for changes. * New builds are generated as needed (usually several times a week, but not necessarily daily).
Privacy and F-Droid
F-Droid builds Nextcloud Dev from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.
No anti-features flagged on the latest F-Droid build.
