This topic was created in 2019 and nextcloud has evolved quite a bit since then. I’d be interested to learn what folks are doing with Nextcloud 21 and how you are contemplating using it in conjunction with Discourse, in a “groupware” context.

From my understanding, the answer to the question in the OP:

is YES. Discourse is a discussion platform, while Nextcloud’s original super power is about file syncing and sharing: [https://nextcloud.com/files/](https://nextcloud.com/files/)

Maybe the answer is to go back to Nextcloud and see if there is an appetite for leveraging [Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963). It could be offered as an alternative to Nextcloud comments. Right now Nextcloud looks like this in the sidebar:

With embedding discourse comments, you’d be able to click a link to start a topic in Discourse to start talking about any file or folder, and see all the replies. The topic will have a link back to the nextcloud file or folder.
