IONOS Managed Nextcloud review
A supported private cloud for teams that need storage, administration, and broad client access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
IONOS Managed Nextcloud is a hosted private-cloud service for individuals, small businesses, agencies, associations, and teams. It combines file storage, synchronisation, password-protected sharing, versioning, access controls, permissions, two-factor authentication, and an integrated app store. IONOS manages system updates and provides full administration, while customers can use custom domains and desktop or mobile clients. The service is hosted in European data centres and is available through web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android access.
Pricing is structured around storage and included users. Managed Nextcloud 500 GB costs £6 per month for 5 users; 1 TB costs £9 for 10 users; 3 TB costs £20 for 25 users; and 10 TB costs £45 for 50 users. Prices are shown in GBP, billed monthly, and exclude VAT. Collabora Online plans start at £8 per month for 500 GB and 5 users, or £11 for 1 TB and 10 users; those plans include Collabora Online for 5 users. The 3 TB and 10 TB Collabora options include the office tools for 25 users and 25 users respectively. This makes the standard plans suitable for storage-first deployments, while document editing adds a separate cost.
The integration set suits organisations bringing existing storage and productivity systems into one hosted environment. Connections include Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft Outlook, WebDAV, and S3-compatible object storage, while the integrated app store and open-source Nextcloud foundation support a wider platform approach. Teams wanting browser-based document, spreadsheet, and presentation editing should choose a Collabora plan; teams focused on file management can avoid that additional layer. Organisations seeking a free service, or needing capacity beyond the listed 10 TB and 50-user plans, should consider an alternative.
