Next3 Offload

Next3 Offload is a simple helper tool that moves files from your Nextcloud server to cheaper cloud storage. It automatically sends your old photos, documents, and backups out of your main server so it doesn't get full and slow. It uses S3-compatible object storage like a giant digital warehouse where you only pay for what you actually store. This keeps your Nextcloud running fast and responsive while still letting you access all your files anytime you need them. The S3 storage handles the heavy lifting of keeping everything safe and available without burdening your own server.

Connection / Setup

  1. Create an account and log in to DiskSpace
  2. Click I'm ready to set up my storage
  3. Enter Bucket Name following the instructions
  4. Click Create Bucket and wait for it to be generated
  5. Find your Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Secret Key in the S3 Client Configuration section for use below

Connect DiskSpace.sh to Next3 Offload

DiskSpace.sh is a fully S3-compatible object storage service. Follow the steps below to configure Next3 Offload using path-style requests.

Connection Steps
  1. Log in to your DiskSpace.sh account and create or select an S3-compatible bucket.
  2. Generate an Access Key and Secret Key from the DiskSpace.sh dashboard.
  3. Enter the credentials in Next3 Offload using the fields below.
  4. Use the endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
  5. Leave Region empty or set it to us-east-1.
Important: Next3 Offload must use Path Style requests with DiskSpace.sh.

Troubleshooting
  • • Ensure you are using path-style requests (not virtual-hosted style).
