Nextcloud Integration
Connect Nextcloud to add secure sharing, tracking, and workflows
Coneshare works as a layer on top of your existing Nextcloud, adding controlled distribution and visibility without changing your storage.
What this integration does
Nextcloud already provides strong storage and access control. This integration adds the missing layer for external sharing: controlled distribution, engagement visibility, and event-driven workflows.
Instead of replacing Nextcloud, Coneshare extends it.
How it fits your architecture
- Files remain stored in Nextcloud
- Coneshare connects as an integration layer
- No storage duplication or migration required
- Existing collaboration workflows remain unchanged
Coneshare handles secure link generation, access control enforcement, engagement tracking, and workflow triggers.
Capability layers
Control layer
Restrict external access with password protection, expiry, verification, download controls, and watermarking.
Intelligence layer
See who viewed shared content, when activity happened, revisit patterns, and page-level engagement context.
Action layer
Trigger Slack or webhook workflows when viewers re-open or meaningfully engage with documents.
Integration workflow
- 1. Connect Nextcloud (OAuth/API connection)
- 2. Apply sharing controls (link security settings)
- 3. Share externally (secure, trackable links)
- 4. Monitor usage (engagement dashboard and activity timelines)
- 5. Trigger actions (Slack/webhook automation)
When should you use this integration?
- You already use Nextcloud for storage
- You share documents externally with clients, investors, or partners
- You need more control than basic link sharing
- You want visibility into how documents are accessed
Not ideal if: you only share files internally and do not need engagement tracking or workflow signals.
