Nextcloud on Speechi Connect

In addition to Google Drive and OneDrive, we now offer you secure access to Nextcloud on your interactive displays via your personal Speechi Connect account. Here’s why this new addition is essential to our approach, especially in the current context.

Digital sovereignty in the face of the GAFAM

• Speechi Connect was created so that users of our interactive displays can enjoy an experience that is not only as personalized as possible, but above all as secure as possible.
• With this 100% Made in France solution, Speechi is contributing to a growing movement in Europe: striving for digital sovereignty—in other words, reclaiming control over the security of our personal data.
• This awareness has arisen in particular as a reaction to the aggressive policies of the GAFAM regarding the processing—if not the appropriation—of personal data for commercial and political purposes. GAFAM is an acronym referring to the American technology giants: Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Accessing your Drive on a Speechi interactive display: a major collaborative challenge to secure

Document sharing is a basic professional and collaborative practice, but it raises security concerns. How can you ensure that your documents remain entirely your own when you display them on a collaborative tool such as an interactive display?

To address this challenge, Speechi Connect offers two solutions.

Secure access to your Drive

With the Advanced and Premium offers, we go even further by unlocking secure access to your personal Drive. Until now, we had limited this to the two most popular and commonly used Drives: Google Drive and OneDrive. Today, we are adding Nextcloud.

*The Starter offer is unlocked with no time limit for every Speechi interactive display purchased.

Nextcloud: a GAFAM alternative that respects your personal data

Although Google and Microsoft Drives remain the most popular storage and sharing tools among individuals, governments, institutions, and educational establishments are increasingly turning away from them in favor of Nextcloud.

Because demand is growing among our French—and more broadly European—customers, and because this demand aligns perfectly with the Speechi Connect approach, we have made the necessary developments to extend our secure personal Drive access service to the Nextcloud solution.

Nextcloud in a few words

• Created in 2016 by Germans Frank Karlitschek and Niels Mache, Nextcloud was initially a secure file-sharing solution that ensured users retained control over the data exchanged.
• Over the years, Nextcloud has evolved into a collaborative tools platform where users can store documents and work on them collaboratively, communicate via chat or video conferencing, and manage emails and calendars.
• Nextcloud is an open-source, interoperable, secure, collaborative solution committed to digital sovereignty.
