Koofr vs Nextcloud: at a glance
What is Koofr?
Koofr's iOS app gets a text editor, and public links get minute-level expiry.
Koofr is a privacy-focused cloud storage service working through mobile parity with its web app. The November 3 release adds a text editor to the iOS app, improves editing documents in external apps through the Files integration, lets public links expire down to the minute, and gives paid users custom link passwords. It follows October's Android sharing upgrade.
What is Nextcloud?
Nextcloud's November patches lean on preview speed and sharing fixes across three branches.
Nextcloud released 35.0.3, 34.0.6 and 33.0.11 on November 12, a month after the previous patch round. 35.0.3 is the largest, with about a dozen calendar and contacts sync fixes, faster cold preview generation, a cached mimetype table, share expiration times that are kept, share-by-mail passwords sent readable instead of hashed, and sharing with remote owners. The two older lines get the same sharing, encryption and audit-log backports.

Koofr
5.0COLLAB
Koofr's iOS app gets a text editor, and public links get minute-level expiry.
◆ Current state
Koofr is a privacy-focused cloud storage service working through mobile parity with its web app. The November 3 release adds a text editor to the iOS app, improves editing documents in external apps through the Files integration, lets public links expire down to the minute, and gives paid users custom link passwords. It follows October's Android sharing upgrade.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the iOS 4.0 rebuild in June, releases have steadily brought web features to mobile: document scanning, Android link controls, now an iOS editor. Sharing controls get tightened in the same releases, alongside an ongoing effort to recover from repeated DDoS disruptions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the text editor to reach Android and more link controls across apps, given the alternating iOS and Android parity releases.
Nextcloud
5.0COLLAB
Nextcloud's November patches lean on preview speed and sharing fixes across three branches.
◆ Current state
Nextcloud released 35.0.3, 34.0.6 and 33.0.11 on November 12, a month after the previous patch round. 35.0.3 is the largest, with about a dozen calendar and contacts sync fixes, faster cold preview generation, a cached mimetype table, share expiration times that are kept, share-by-mail passwords sent readable instead of hashed, and sharing with remote owners. The two older lines get the same sharing, encryption and audit-log backports.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the 35.0 major in September, Nextcloud has returned to its monthly three-branch patch rhythm. The fixes concentrate on sharing correctness, CalDAV/CardDAV sync and performance on large instances, with few new features. The 35 line receives small additions, such as remote share owners, that the older branches do not.
◆ Prediction
The next patch round should land in mid-December on the same three branches; the entries do not show when 36 development will surface.
