New webinar series: Learn how to get control over your data with Nextcloud

Posted on by Ed

Every time you upload a file to Google Drive, share a folder via Dropbox, or collaborate in Microsoft Teams you give something away. Not just convenience. But ownership. Autonomy. Privacy.

Big Tech companies don’t just store your data. They use it, scan it, monetize it, and lock you into systems you can’t see into or control.

And let’s be honest: we’ve let it happen.
Because the alternatives seemed too technical. Too complex. Too far away.

But that’s changing.

Introducing a new webinar by YourData Network

Nextcloud: How your own decentralized cloud environment works

For the first time, we’re hosting a dedicated webinar on one of the most practical and empowering tools to regain control over your digital life: Nextcloud, an open-source cloud platform you can run independently, whether on your own server or – even better- on ThreeFold’s decentralized internet.

Why? Because we keep hearing the same questions:

“How do I actually use the decentralized internet?”
“Where can I store my data safely?”
“What can I do with Nextcloud?”

“Is there a way to work and share without Big Tech watching?”

Yes. There is.
And this webinar is going to show you exactly how.

What you’ll discover

✅ What Nextcloud is and how it runs on the Decentralized Internet
✅ How you can host your own cloud or choose from thousands of trusted nodes
✅ How you stay in full control: no tracking, no scanning, no hidden monetization
✅ How Nextcloud lets you store, sync, share and collaborate just like Google or Microsoft, but without giving anything away
✅ Why this is about more than tech, it’s about digital self-determination

Who it’s for

People who are done with surveillance capitalism

Teams or small businesses looking for open-source, secure collaboration tools

Anyone searching for real alternatives — not just promises

When & how

Online, live, with demos and real-world examples

⏱ Duration: ~75 minutes

This is about freedom, not features

Nextcloud on the decentralized internet isn’t just a tool. It’s a gateway. To sovereignty. To responsibility. To building something outside of systems that were never built for your benefit.

Seminar: High Tech Campus Eindhoven

Digital autonomy through the decentralized internet

How your organization can regain control over data, AI, and infrastructure. Independent from hyperscalers.

Companies in Europe face a crucial choice: continue outsourcing data and AI capacity to American cloud providers, or reclaim true ownership of their data and digital infrastructure.

At this event, you’ll experience what that alternative looks like in practice: ThreeFold’s decentralized internet. A revolutionary technology that fundamentally reimagines how data is stored, accessed and owned, away from central control toward a more open, resilient and sovereign digital future.

And it’s already working today. With live demos and real-world use cases, you’ll see how this shift is not just possible but actionable, offering your organization a powerful opportunity to regain control, ensure data sovereignty and build on infrastructure that truly belongs to you.

Practical details

  • Location: AI Innovation Center, High Tech Campus Eindhoven
  • Date: Tuesday, November 4, 2025
  • Time: 16:00 – 17:30 (doors open at 15:30)
  • Followed by: Networking drinks until 19:00
  • Admission: Free (registration required)

What to expect

During this session, you will get:

  • A clear explanation of the decentralized internet and how it works
  • Practical insights into overcoming vendor lock-in and data security risks
  • Inspiring use cases such as Kubernetes, Nextcloud, and AI workloads
  • A live demo of a working solution (hardware & software)
  • Time for Q&A and networking with peers at the High Tech Campus

Why this matters for you and your organization

The challenges facing European companies that generate and rely heavily on data are urgent and increasingly complex, especially for those at the forefront of innovation, like the organizations based at the High Tech Campus.

For CTOs & Tech Leads
You know how dependent you’ve become on hyperscalers. Vendor lock-in limits your choices, and compliance with European regulations is a constant concern.

For Founders & Business Owners
You wonder if your IP and business-critical data are truly safe. The fear of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands is real. Meanwhile, cloud costs keep rising often without predictable control.

In this session, you’ll discover how the decentralized internet provides a working alternative today:

  • Secure, compliant, and fully under your ownership
  • Free from vendor lock-in and hidden costs
  • With the compute power and flexibility that AI and innovation demand
