The NextCloud application allows you to create centralized access to files that will be synchronized across all your devices via your hosting account, making them accessible from any device. You can also add users and connect them to file sharing by granting the necessary permissions.
This is highly convenient, as the hosting account enables you to use disk space for your needs, share files using links on your domain, and perform backups in the hosting control panel.
Your files are always under your control. To create a centralized storage on your virtual hosting account, you need to log into the hosting control panel and install the NextCloud application from the top-right menu.
Let’s install the NextCloud application. If you have installed it before, you can search for it.
Fill in the required fields, including the login and password for accessing it via a browser, the NextCloud application, and the folder, which will look like https://domain.tld/nextcloud.
Wait for the installation to complete.

Actual file storage on the hosting:
After installing the application, a separate folder is allocated on the hosting for storing and accessing files. These are kept separate from the website files, ensuring they do not interfere with or disrupt the website’s operation if one exists. Your own cloud storage is another step toward making virtual hosting a multifunctional and indispensable tool.
