Sendent for MS Teams: Integrating Nextcloud and Microsoft Teams - Nextcloud (nextcloud.com)

The new add-in integrates Nextcloud with Microsoft Teams, allowing users to effortlessly share files and folders stored on their private Nextcloud server directly from the Teams user interface.

This effectively replaces OneDrive (and similar proprietary solutions) with Nextcloud, IMO.

Sure, but using it in combination with MS Teams doesn't really help much from the privacy POV.

You are essentially sharing a file link via MS Teams.

Instead of keeping the actual file on OneDrive, it is hosted on your own (Nextcloud) server. Sorry but how it leads to privacy issue?

MS Teams is the privacy issue. How you share files in combination with it doesn't really matter that much.

The post is about Nextcloud self-hosted file storage as an open source replacement for One Drive which is deeply integrated with MS Teams. For those, who can't replace MS Teams with FOSS equivalent for whatever reason, can at least stop relying on One Drive for file storage solution.

And, for your information, Nextcloud does offer 1:1 and group chat solution[1], which is an open source replacement for MS Teams.
