====== Nextcloud – Files, Sharing & Sync ======

Nextcloud is our **private family Dropbox**.  
Use it for documents, scans, school files, and anything we don’t want living on someone else’s cloud.

  * You still can keep your own copies of critical documents if you want, but Nextcloud is our main “single source of truth”.

===== Troubleshooting =====

  * **Sync is stuck on phone:** Toggle airplane mode, reopen the app.
  * **Out of space:** Let Nathan know so we can grow storage.
