Nextcloud Overview#

Nextcloud's API lets you tap into your self-hosted cloud storage and collaboration platform. With Pipedream, you can automate tasks like file management, user account operations, and accessing calendar and contacts. It's a treasure trove for creating workflows that sync, share, and manage data programmatically between Nextcloud and other apps.
