# Nextcloud File Management

Nextcloud File Management encompasses the administrative actions users can take to govern the lifecycle and ownership of data within the cloud environment.

## Ownership Transfer
Users have the ability to transfer ownership rights of files and folders. This is critical for collaborative research and ensuring data continuity when a project lead or staff member leaves the institution.

## Expiration Date Verification
To maintain data security and hygiene, users can verify the expiration dates of shared files and links. This ensures that external access to university data is revoked according to the intended schedule.

These functions are managed through the [[nextcloud-account-settings]].
