====== Neurocloud ======

The Neurocloud server is based on the widespread software //NextCloud// and used primarily as a platform to share data with researchers located in other institutions. It is compatible with NextCloud's client software available for MS Windows and OSX. This software enables the synchronization of project folders located in the Neurocloud with local folders on your PC.

Please keep in mind that the group folders can be very large, so it's better to just synchronize a selection of subfolders needed for your daily work.

The following steps guide you through the client installation process. It's based on the version for MS Windows but should be applicable for all other versions as well.
