Before you switch
Backend platforms speed up projects but become foundations — test the data-export story early. Confirm how authentication, file storage, and backups work, and check the project's upgrade notes policy. A self-hosted backend keeps your application data under your control from day one.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Nextcloud Forms is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
