Nextcloud Integration
Connect your self-hosted Nextcloud instance with renamed.to for automated file organization. Process documents on your own infrastructure while maintaining full control and privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do my files leave my server?
- Yes, for processing. A copy of the file is sent to our secure API for analysis and is deleted immediately after processing. The renamed file is saved back on your Nextcloud instance.
- Is this a free app?
- The Nextcloud app itself is free and open-source. However, it requires a renamed.to account, which has free and paid tiers based on usage.
- Can I use my own on-premise AI models?
- Not at this time. The integration relies on the renamed.to cloud API for its OCR and LLM capabilities.
Before You Connect
- A running Nextcloud instance (version 21 or newer)
- Admin access to enable and configure apps in Nextcloud
- renamed.to account with an active API key
