The University of Münster is gradually migrating all sciebo instances from ownCloud to Nextcloud. The migration of the RWTH sciebo instance is scheduled for August 12 to 14, 2025. During this time, sciebo will not be available at RWTH.
If you urgently need to access data during the migration, you can save your data locally on your device in advance using the sciebo/ownCloud client. Please make sure to disable “Virtual Files.” Instructions on how to do this can be found at IT Center Help.
What the migration means for you
If you only use sciebo via the web client, only a few visual elements and feature enhancements will change for you. Existing access and permissions will remain completely unchanged.
However, if you use the sciebo/ownCloud client or an app, you will need to actively switch to the new Nextcloud client. This is done by uninstalling the previous client and then installing the Nextcloud client. Installation instructions are available on the sciebo website at Client downloads.
For more information about the migration, please visit the sciebo website. Instructions for use and installation can be found on IT Center Help. If you have any questions, the IT Service Desk team will be happy to help.
