60 languages
This language count is outdated. Nextcloud’s own website says it is translated into more than 100 languages, including 107 languages in 2024.
Full reasoning
This infobox entry understates the current number of languages Nextcloud is available in.
Nextcloud’s official translation page says the project is translated into “more than a hundred different languages and dialects.” In addition, Nextcloud’s official 2024 year-in-review post gives a more specific count: “Nextcloud is available in 107 languages.”
Because the article says “60 languages,” it is inconsistent with Nextcloud’s current official figures and is therefore outdated/inaccurate.

100+ languages ... Nextcloud is available in 107 languages, 41 exceeding 50% completion.
Windows (Windows 8.1 and above), macOS (10.14 or later)
These desktop OS requirements are outdated. Nextcloud’s current official docs list Windows 10+ and macOS 12+ or 13+, not Windows 8.1 or macOS 10.14.
Full reasoning
This support statement no longer matches Nextcloud’s current official client requirements.
On Nextcloud’s official download page, the desktop client is listed for Windows 10+ (64 bit) and macOS 13+ (with a separate legacy build for macOS 11+). Nextcloud’s current administration manual likewise says the desktop client requires Windows 10+ and macOS Monterey (12.0)+.
That directly contradicts the article’s statement that supported desktop versions include Windows 8.1 and above and macOS 10.14 or later. Those minimum versions are outdated.

Nextcloud has planned new features such as monitoring capabilities, full-text search and Kerberos authentication, as well as audio/video conferencing, expanded federation and smaller user interface improvements.
This sentence is outdated: several of the listed items are already existing Nextcloud features, not merely planned ones.
Full reasoning
This appears to be old roadmap text that was never updated.
Current official Nextcloud documentation and product pages show that multiple items listed here already exist today:
- Monitoring: the admin manual documents a live
/metricsendpoint under the Monitoring section. - Full-text search: Nextcloud’s official features page says it includes a powerful full-text search engine.
- Kerberos authentication: Nextcloud’s security page says it can also work with Kerberos.
- Audio/video conferencing: Nextcloud Talk is an official product page for calls, chat and video conferencing.
- Federation: Nextcloud Talk’s current feature list explicitly includes federated chat and video calls.
Because these features are already documented as available, describing them as merely "planned new features" is inaccurate.

Monitoring ... Added in version 33. Nextcloud exposes a /metrics endpoint.
- Nextcloud features that put you in control
Full-text search ... Nextcloud includes a powerful full-text search engine capable of using ElasticSearch as back-end.
- Nextcloud security and authentication
Nextcloud can also work with Kerberos and other authentication mechanisms like OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, CAS or Any SQL database mediated by Apache modules.
- Calls, chat and video conferencing with Nextcloud Talk
Nextcloud Talk ... online collaboration through meetings, chat and webinars ... Federated chat and video calls ... supports federated collaboration.
Oauth2, and OpenID Connect
OAuth2 and OpenID Connect are not documented by Nextcloud as two-factor authentication methods. Nextcloud documents them separately as authentication/SSO mechanisms.
Full reasoning
In this sentence, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect are presented as if they were part of Nextcloud’s multi-factor authentication options.
Nextcloud’s official Two-factor authentication documentation lists the built-in 2FA providers as TOTP, Nextcloud notifications, and backup codes, and notes that additional 2FA providers may come from apps. By contrast, Nextcloud documents OpenID Connect on a separate page as a way for users to authenticate via an external identity provider, and it documents OAuth2 separately as a way to connect external services to Nextcloud.
So while OAuth2 and OpenID Connect are supported by Nextcloud, they are not documented as 2FA methods in the way this sentence implies.
