To ensure that users do not run over their storage quotas, the Deleted Files

until it meets the memory usage limit again.
Nextcloud checks the age of deleted files every time new files are added to the

Encrypting Your Nextcloud Files

Encryption is server-wide, so when it is enabled you cannot choose to keep your

files unencrypted. You don't have to do anything special, as it uses your
Nextcloud login as the password for your unique private encryption key. Just log
in and out and manage and share your files as you normally do, and you can
still change your password whenever you want.
Its main purpose is to encrypt files on remote storage services that are
connected to your Nextcloud server, such as Dropbox and Google Drive. This is an
easy and seamless way to protect your files on remote storage. You can share
your remote files through Nextcloud in the usual way, however you cannot share
your encrypted files directly from Dropbox, Google Drive, or whatever remote
service you are using, because the encryption keys are stored on your Nextcloud
server, and are never exposed to outside service providers.

it is better to use some other form of encryption such as file-level or whole
disk encryption. Because the keys are kept on your Nextcloud server, it is
possible for your Nextcloud admin to snoop in your files, and if the server is
compromised the intruder may get access to your files. (Read
