Something a bit different this month. Not an Ubuntu Touch device, but a thing called Nextcloud which is a device to let you host your own files. It, of course, uses Ubuntu.
The Nextcloud Box consists of a hard drive and a case, complemented by a Raspberry Pi 2 or a similar credit-card sized computer (note: not supplied). The pre-configured, easy-to-use platform handles file storage and syncing, communication and more, requires no maintenance, and enables users to install more functionality through apps like Spreed, OpenHab and Collabora Online. The box offers 1TB of storage at the price point of Eur 70. For information on where to buy please visit nextcloud.com/box
Key WD components including the WD PiDrive and SanDisk SD card deliver a device with the flexibility and openness to enable learning and experimenting, with easy installation and allowing replacement of components, and adding functionality and capabilities like more storage space, networking interfaces and other addons.
The base with Ubuntu Core enables the device to act as an extensible IoT gateway at home, adding functionality and controlling other devices and connecting them with their owner while keeping the user secure through automatic, unattended updates.
The Nextcloud software empowers users to sync and share their data while remaining in control and accessing and collaborating through a range of devices and platforms, from browsers and mobile phones to desktops and laptops. The federation capabilities make it possible to share among users on different Nextcloud servers, participating in and creating a network beyond the single device.
