the Deck app in deskonline – Gig List is looking empty *COVID

keeping track of our gigs this year using the Deck…those lists would usually be packed full of cards by now!

Labels – these are customisable per deck, add your own to track status or use the predefined labels.
Users – assign users to the card to notify someone of a task or activity they need to be involved in. We use it here to show who’s got a ticket to the show.
Stacks – SO MANY STACKS of cards! I’ve said this before, it’s like having an unlimited amount of post-it notes, only they don’t fall off the wall 😉

the OnlyOffice editor in deskonline – spreadsheets!

This is what a spreadsheet looks like using the OnlyOffice editor.

👉 File is saved as .xlsx

👉 When accessed through deskonline, either directly or via a link, the file can be updated by multiple users at the same time.

👉 You can share the file for updating with people who are not deskonline users.

afternoon at a small business expo…

We had a very interesting afternoon at a small business expo and where ‘the cloud’ was mentioned constantly.

Everyone explained how they wanted to move to the cloud, but they also want the reassurance they have by having a company server which they could ‘touch’. So the the physical reassurance is still paramount.

With Deskonline, the Nextcloud sync agent can be installed on Windows or Linux and provides two-way data synchronization. This not only provides an encrypted backup to your data, but also provides online access to your files which are still stored on your physical server.

What does this mean? A seamless user experience in the transition to ‘the cloud’. Work natively as you always have, but know that your files are backed up and accessible to you from when you log into deskonline from any device connected to the internet (phone, tablet, laptop, pc).

Protect your precious photos with auto-upload

📱 Imagine taking a photo on your phone and knowing that 10 minutes later your photo is safe on your home computer.
Select a folder on your phone or device and all photos in that folder will be automatically scheduled for back up via upload to deskonline.cloud

📲 Auto-uploads are enabled when connected over Wi-Fi

📲 Uploads can be scheduled and are enabled even when connected over the mobile network.

💻Access your photos on deskonline.cloud using the Nextcloud app or a web browser from any device

Introducing deskonline.cloud

We created deskonline.cloud to offer Australian Businesses and individuals access to Nextcloud as an alternative to Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud and Office 365 for online workspace collaboration and file storage.

What is Nextcloud?

Nextcloud is an alternative to services like Dropbox, Google Drive or iCloud but the software is free and it can be set up so that your files are always accessible via the internet. Your files can then be accessed from any device, as long as that device has internet access. Sharing of files is easy – you can let other people view or edit even if they are not a Nextcloud user.   So far this kind of sounds like all the others, right?

Right, but there’s one really big differentiator. What sparked our interest in Nextcloud was the conversation around data ownership. Unlike the other comparable services, with Nextcloud, you remain the sole owner of your data. That’s right. Your data is your data. Nextcloud does not claim a right to co-own your data, access your data, share your data or lock you out from your own data. If you share a photo, it’s your photo and you’re sharing it only with those you have decided to share it with.

So how does deskonline.cloud fit in?

While the Nextcloud software is free, you still need to be able to run the Nextcloud software and host your files somewhere.

Yes, you could go directly to Nextcloud and sign-up yourself. But you’ll need to be pretty fly with Linux administration and prepared for a lengthy and technical set-up process. Plus you’ll then need to make sure you have a maintenance and upgrade plan with technical expertise on hand to carry it out.

Lucky for you we are pretty fly with Linux and we love the challenge of a lengthy technical exercise. We host deskonline.cloud on Amazon Web Services and we’re committed to keeping deskonline.cloud up to date with the very latest Nextcloud version. We launched deskonline.cloud when Nextcloud was on version 8 and we’ve just upgraded to version 15!.

Because we use deskonline.cloud in our own businesses, we are constantly living the user experience and making improvements. Plus we keep an eye on the suite of Nextcloud apps available so we can find clever ways to integrate them into deskonline.cloud.
