What is the Nextcloud Exchange Connector?

The connector integrates Microsoft’s proprietary contact and calendar formats with Nextcloud, by using the open standards CardDav (for contacts) and CalDav (for calendars). Initially, the focus is on ensuring bidirectional synchronization of personal agendas and contacts, while support for shared agendas and contacts will be implemented at a later stage.
