This is particularly useful in the following settings:</p> <ul> <li>If you (or your team) edit files on multiple devices, changes are automatically distributed to all these end devices. Conflicts caused by simultaneous file editing are recognised and both versions are saved so that the conflicts can be resolved manually later.</li> <li>If you are disconnected from the network (e.g. when travelling), you can still continue working on your documents. All changes are initially saved locally and automatically synchronised with the server by the client as soon as the network connection is available again.</li> <li>If not all files are to be copied from the server to the client, but only those that are used, Nextcloud offers virtual files under Windows. These files are kept ready on the client in a cache memory and updated when changes are made. This requires a permanent connection to the server.</li> </ul> <p>Client programmes are available for download at <a href="https://nextcloud.com/de/install/">https://nextcloud.com/de/install/</a> but are also offered for installation in the app stores or package managers of common operating systems. After starting the programme, you must carry out the following configuration:</p> <ul> <li>Click on "Register with Nextcloud"</li> <li>Enter the server address: https://nc.uni-bremen.de/</li> <li>The login to the Nextcloud website will then be called up in your web browser. Please confirm the access of the client programme there.</li> </ul> <p>We provide detailed <a class="internal-link" href="t3://page?uid=63131" title="Opens internal link in current window">instructions for installing the client</a> on your system (currently only on the german page).</p> <p>Nextcloud is installed automatically on VW computers via the VW update server. Please send an e-mail to servicedesk@uni-bremen.de with your VWG number.</p> Content
