Configure Your Nextcloud Workspace

Create a new Nextcloud Workspace, define your user capacity, and set up the initial administrator account. You can create any number of workspaces with your contract.

Prerequisites:

• You must have an active IONOS CLOUD account.
• You must be logged in to the DCD as a contract owner or an administrator.

Create a Nextcloud Workspace

To create your Nextcloud Workspace:

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Sovereign Workplace > Nextcloud Workspace.

2. Select Create Nextcloud workspace.

3. In the Create Nextcloud workspace window, specify the following:

• Workspace name: Enter a workspace name (1–40 characters).
• Number of workspace users: Specify the number of user licenses (seats) for your workspace. You can also increase it using the up arrow. For more information about how to increase the number of users, see Increase the User Count in Nextcloud Workspace.
