Project Description
Nextcloud is an open source system for file sync & sharing, calendar, contacts etc. Very similar to what Dropbox or Google Suite are used for. It consists of a server component with apps for Files, Contacts, Calendar, Mail, Video/voice chat etc., a desktop client, and mobile apps for Android and iOS.
Project's Requirements
The server part is mainly programmed in Javascript with Vue.js, PHP, HTML and CSS. The Android app is Java, the iOS app in Objective-C, and the desktop app in C++ and Qt.
There are a lot of different aspects to work on in Nextcloud so there’s something fitting for everyone. For example:
Server apps:
