I like to attatched files in outlook by outlook program then run add-in that can replace attachments, automatically uploading files to Nextcloud and inserting a secure link in the email.  
Is it possiable? How I can do that?

Yes it’s possible! [https://nextcloud.com/outlook/](https://nextcloud.com/outlook/)  
There’s also a free Thunderbird plugin: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/nextcloud-filelink/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/nextcloud-filelink/)

But this part of Nextcloud (well, more like a plugin for a mail client than part of Nextcloud) is not Open Source? How much does it cost for people w/o a subscription?

It’s not available without a subscription I believe.

It’s done by a partner, both of them (the calendar/contact and the outlook one). Outlook isn’t open source either so I personally don’t mind. The Thunderbird plugin IS open source, btw.

It is 5 bucks but can’t be gotten without a support contract at the moment. We’re looking at providing a free version for home/SMB usage, stay tuned - we might have something this week.

That would be awesome. I see potential for this at my company (~45 people using Outlook). Just last week somebody created an email, hit attach, which launches a mini file browser, then attempted to right click a file and “Share with Nextcloud” which of course did not work because the shell extensions aren’t available in that context. 😕 Not to mention cases where people try to send ridiculously large attachments.

Well, the Oulook Caldav Synchronizer ([http://caldavsynchronizer.org/](http://caldavsynchronizer.org/)) you promote is Open Source.
