Imagine Outlook and Nextcloud joining forces, creating a powerhouse of communication and secure file sharing. That’s Sendent – your bridge between familiar email workflows and robust cloud storage.

Sendent comes in two flavors: Free and Paid. While the free version packs a punch, the paid version is where Sendent truly flexes its muscles.

This guide cuts through the noise, showing you exactly what you gain by upgrading. No fluff, just facts – because your time is valuable, and so is your data.

Ready to see how Sendent can transform your daily grind? Let’s dive in.

The basics: What Sendent Free offers

Sendent’s free version isn’t just a teaser – it’s a robust tool in its own right. Here’s what you get without spending a dime:

  1. Public Shares

  • Perfect for sending files to clients or partners without Nextcloud accounts
