## What it is
OpenCloud is an open source file management, sharing, and collaboration platform written in Go, positioned as a sovereign alternative to Nextcloud/ownCloud. Its backend authenticates via OpenID Connect and stores all data directly on the filesystem without a database.

## Use cases
- self-host a file sharing and sync server for my organization
- replace Nextcloud with a simpler open source cloud
- share and collaborate on files while keeping data sovereign and GDPR-compliant
- host a team file storage platform without a database backend
- deploy a scalable file collaboration solution for public sector or education

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, GDPR-compliant file sharing and collaboration platform
- you prefer a filesystem-based backend without database dependencies
- you need OIDC-based authentication with Keycloak or a built-in IdP
- you want an actively developed open source alternative to Nextcloud

## When to avoid
- you need Nextcloud's large app/plugin ecosystem
- you require database-backed metadata search or features depending on a DB
- you only need simple static file hosting rather than collaboration features

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: file-system, auth, http-server, self-hosted, web-framework
