New open-source alternative to Microsoft SharePoint

7 May 2025

Just a few weeks after the operational launch of OpenCloud GmbH, the first full, installable release of OpenCloud is now available. OpenCloud is a modern open-source solution for file management, file sharing and content collaboration, serving as a high-performance, GDPR-compliant alternative to proprietary solutions such as Microsoft SharePoint, Google Drive or Dropbox. With an innovative cloud-native architecture and licensing under Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0, OpenCloud offers a future-proof, transparent, and digital sovereign solution for IT infrastructures in Europe. OpenCloud is developed in the programming language Go, offering high performance and scalability.

Together with OpenTalk and mailbox.org, OpenCloud is one of the three pillars of Heinlein Gruppe, which provides secure and digitally sovereign IT infrastructures throughout Europe, since over 30 years.
