I have been using NC for about 5+ years now and have always wanted seamless integration for Contacts and Calendars between our exchange based mail system and NC. I have always thought that the lack of this capability was a drawback for companies to adopt NC more widely.
So after 5 years of thinking about it, I decided to create the app myself. Its been a frustrating and interesting 3 month experience, working on this integration module. But…
The app is now available on the NC app store in the Beta channel, ready for more wider testing.
Please let me know, your thoughts on this app, your experience with it and what can be improved.
Here is a quick summary of what is supported and required:
Capabilities and Limitations
The following is a short list of things that work and limitations.
Supported Off-Premise Exchange Systems: Microsoft Exchage 365, OVH Cloud, Etc
Supported Authentications: Basic, NTLM, OAuth2
Passive (scheduled) and Active (live) Syncronization
Account Auto Discovery
Personal and Public Calendar Syncronization
Personal and Public Contacts Syncronization
Personal and Public Tasks Syncronization
Mail App Integration
About 95% of the properties between Nextcloud and EWS are transferable and supported for both Contacts, Calendars and Tasks, some properties are limited due to the limitations of both systems.
Please read the full documentation (link below).
Requirements
This app has some minimal requirements for passive synchronization and a few more for active synchronization.
Unfortunately, due to the way Office 365 works the app needs to be registered in the Azure admin panel first. Those settings then need to be saved in your NC installation before you can connect the app to a Office 365 account.

Yes, I need to make a guide on how to connect this app to O365, just haven’t had time to do so.
For now you can follow this guide,
The steps are the same. But…
Make sure you select "EWS.AccessAsUser.All " in the “Api Permissions” section. And under the “Authentication” section that you have the correct redirect url. “https://(your domain)/apps/integration_ews/connect-ms365”

Good morning Sebastian, I apologize for the long response. It seems to me that I am doing something wrong, after any user enters their data from Office365 in the window that pops up - the NC start page is simply opened and nothing happens. And so every time, if you open the Office365 website, it turns out that the user is already logged in. You exit Office365, click connect to account again on the NC page, it asks you to enter data from Office365, and the NC start page opens again. In Entra you can see that the user is logged into the app for EWS Connector in the applog.
