Nextcloud migration

In the coming weeks, Sciebo will gradually migrate all instances of ownCloud to Nextcloud. Nothing will change in the basic functionality, only a few features will be added.

In fact, everything should continue to work as before. If not, this document will hopefully help.

If you're having a more complicated case, feel free to email us as usual using our contact form.

Changes

  • Apps are now at the top of the page and no longer at the top left of the menu
  • Groups are now called Teams and can be found in the Contact app
  • .odt, .odp. and other Libreoffice formats are no longer opened in Onlyoffice, but opened in Collabora
  • there are now a few new apps: Calendar, Contacts, Deck (Kanban Board), Forms (surveys) and Polls (polls)
  • The eye-friendly dark mode is activated by default; the menu at the top right Light Mode as well as High Contrast and Dyslexia modes can also be set via the modes
  • Login only with Sciebo ID: Due to a bug, it was previously possible to log in with your e-mail address. Please only use your Sciebo ID to log in. If in doubt, you can find out what this is in MySciebo
  • Incoming shares can be automatically sorted into a separate folder. This can be selected under Settings/Share.

Help, my client is not working anymore

We recommend every user to deinstall the old sciebo client and install the new Nextcloud based. See: Nextcloud clients

Alternatively, the unbranded Nextcloud client can be used for each platform, especially for mobile devices. A Nextcloud client for mobile devices can be found in the respective app stores (Play, FDroid and Appstore).
