Its laudable goals are realized through:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Over 30 part-time employees<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">13 departments<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Volunteers in over 20 countries<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Ten member associations from Europe to America<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">With such a distributed network, the federation needed secure cloud storage and file sharing software that could replace fragmented tools and third-party services.

Documents were stored on local machines, email was used to coordinate meetings, and surrounding privacy concerns were commercial file sharing services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The Federation has drawn up a list of requirements similar to those in other public sector implementations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Remote access<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Support for multiple devices<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Collaborative editing<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Advanced sharing with group management<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Cost efficiency<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"nc-list\"><span dir=\"auto\">Self-hosting capability<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Nextcloud has met these needs by providing an open source platform that can be deployed on the federation's own servers. The solution offers a central location accessible from anywhere, data protection compliant storage, the ability to share files across organizational boundaries with group folders, and regular security updates. Local hosting means that the federation retains full control over its data and can integrate the platform into its existing infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Article retrieved <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcloud.com\/blog\/secure-cloud-storage-file-sharing-software-econgood\/\">\u201eSecure cloud storage and file sharing software for NGOs: The Economy for the Common Good with Nextcloud\u201d<\/a> by Laura Gavrila<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What secure cloud storage and file-sharing software can support hundreds of volunteers and staff working across continents on a mission to build a more...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21220,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"iawp_total_views":20,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,90],"tags":[110,109,108],"class_list":["post-21219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comunitate","category-povesti-de-succes","tag-economia-pentru-binele-comun","tag-ong","tag-suveranitatea-digitala"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-Economia-pentru-binele-comun.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intellogic.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
