Netframe
Netframe is an open-source digital workplace for collaboration, communication, and organization. It brings together email, instant messaging, file storage, a calendar, office tools, video, shared notes, and collaborative spaces. Its internal social network includes activity feeds, groups, announcements, comments, and sharing. Document management provides file sharing, version history, access control, and workflows. Dropbox and Google Drive can connect to document management; Google Calendar or Outlook can connect to the Netframe calendar. Netframe is available as SaaS, on-premise, or edge cloud, including deployment in a customer's own infrastructure. The maker says its SaaS runs on sovereign infrastructure in Europe, that it complies with GDPR, and that customers can use it without collection of internal data. It also says customer data remains available in a practically usable format if they leave. Netframe works in major browsers on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, with access for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS in non-native format. Plans include free access for families, associations, and education; Business costs €3 a month per user, with 5 GB storage per user and no commitment; Administration starts at €3,000 a year, with 10 GB storage per user and a one-year commitment. The code, excluding CSS, is available on GitHub under AGPL.
