@djoerd Do all students and employees get access to SURFdrive? I had to ask for access at my institute (and immediately got it).
Can highly recommend, but so far I have only been using it as file sync.
I also use nextcloud at home and it's nice to only have to install one client which connects to multiple accounts.
The virtual file support on MacOS, however, is still quite new and a bit unreliably.
"its a small step for Djoerd, but a huge step for digital sovereignty"
I assume the 'Nextcloud Desktop Client' mentioned here is the Nextcloud files application? It comes with a .AppImage file for Linux, that's a first for me. It seems to run out-of-the-box... (make it executable and run!)
Next challenge: Sync Calendar and Contacts using this guide:

...but first exam grading...
@djoerd Maar "zou nu verbonden moeten zijn", daar straalt het vertrouwen nou niet echt van af...
@heinragas Ja, ze kunnen nog wat meer "bravoure" gebruiken. Maar het klopt wel hoor.
