PAFworks, the fast, Nextcloud-compatible alternative
Same sync clients, same open standards, a much faster interface. On top: real email and an assistant that works across your whole workspace.
PAFworks is hosted in Switzerland and run by our team.
Works with the official app on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
PAFworks speaks the same protocols as Nextcloud. Your team keeps its tools and its habits.
The Nextcloud client
The Nextcloud desktop and mobile clients sync your files with PAFworks. Nothing to reinstall.
WebDAV, CalDAV, CardDAV
Files, calendars and contacts stay available over DAV, from any standard client.
OnlyOffice and Markdown
Documents, spreadsheets and presentations are edited online in the same open formats.
Mobile sync
DAVx⁵ on Android, native accounts on iPhone: contacts and calendars sync as before.
Same clients, fewer pieces to assemble.
