Nextcloud has planned new features such as monitoring capabilities, full-text search and Kerberos authentication, as well as audio/ video conferencing, expanded federation and smaller user interface improvements. Security options like Multi-factor authentication using TOTP, WebAuthn, Oauth2, OpenID Connect, Brute-force protection exist. Logging of file-related actions, as well as disallowing access based on file access rules is also available.

Nextcloud users can create public URLs when sharing files. Content can be shared inside the system by defining granular read/write permissions between users and groups. Nextcloud permits user and group administration locally or via different Backends like OpenID or LDAP. Nextcloud can synchronize with local clients running Windows (Windows 7, 8, and 10), macOS (10.6 or later), or various Linux distributions. A SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL database is required to provide additional functionality like permissions, shares, and comments. Nextcloud files are stored in conventional directory structures, accessible via WebDAV if necessary. Translations in 60 languages exist for web interface and client applications. It is scalable from home office software based on the low cost Raspberry Pi all the way through to full sized data centers that support millions of users. It can be hosted in the cloud or on-premises.

Nextcloud provides functionality similar to Dropbox, Office 365 or Google Drive when used with integrated office suites Collabora Online or OnlyOffice. Nextcloud is a suite of client-server software for creating and using file hosting services.
