# URZ Nextcloud Service Documentation

This source provides operational details regarding the university's Nextcloud instance, including access requirements, storage quotas, integrated collaborative tools, and data recovery mechanisms.

## Key Information
- **Access**: Requires the [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]] provided by the URZ.
- **Storage**: Users are assigned a default quota of 10GB per user.
- **Collaborative Editing**: Integrated via [[onlyoffice]], allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously/in real-time in the browser.
- **Project Integration**: Files can be linked to the university's [[openproject]] instance via a plugin, with further support provided by the [[e-verwaltung]].

## Data Recovery and Persistence
- **Internal Versioning (Self-Service)**: Nextcloud performs irregular internal backups. Users can view and restore these files/folders via the "Details öffnen" (Open Details) button in the web interface.
- **Administrative Backup**: The service is covered by the [[zentrale-datensicherungsstrategie]], allowing URZ administrators to recover data in case of loss.

## OnlyOffice Specifics
- **Saving Behavior**: A critical note is provided that files edited in OnlyOffice are only saved back to Nextcloud when the last active user closes the browser tab. Manual saves can be triggered via the disk icon or `Ctrl+S`.
