Getting help

In order to help you as efficiently (and quickly!) as possible, please fill in as much of the below requested information as you can.

(Utilizing these existing resources is typically faster. It also helps reduce the load on our generous volunteers while elevating the signal to noise ratio of the forums otherwise arising from the same queries being posted repeatedly).

I noticed that the Nextcloud App Store now offers G DATA VaaS (Virus Protection as a Service) as an alternative to ClamAV. According to the description, it provides advanced cloud-based scanning and seems to be free of charge.

Has anyone implemented it in production?

  • How does it perform compared to ClamAV?

  • Any noticeable impact on upload/download speed?

  • How is privacy handled when files are sent for scanning?

  • Is it worth switching from the traditional ClamAV setup?

Looking forward to hearing your experiences and recommendations!

On their registration form you can find the terms and conditions.
