Why we use Joplin on Nextcloud…
We are a small Church-Office in Germany with several employees and members of staff who have little or no affinity to working with computer. In this situation we use Nextcloud, because it is very easy to integrate the cloud computing workflow in the known usual workflow. After the first installation the calendar and the tasks show up where they used to show up (Outlook, Android Calendar rtc.), the cloud storage looks like a normal lokal folder and it can be handled like that.
Most information saved in these categories is common information without a high security level.
I only know about one member of staff who uses (not very often) the web interface of his cloud instance! I myself, like all other users, prefer the use of my clouded data over clients that integrate in the other environments I use.
But there is special information of a very high intimacy and confidentiality level that should only be accessible to the owner of the information, e.g. notes about counseling. And here Joplin comes into action. When used with encryption, the notes can only be read by the owner, not even by our cloud operator. With Joplin I can guaranty my users the highest level of confidentiality possible, combined with a clear and easy to use interface.
