next.Hessenbox
At the end of February 2026, the current JLUBox/Hessenbox has been replaced by a new cloud storage solution. The next.hessenbox offers all the features you already know from JLUBox, but has a more modern interface and apps for all common operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android).
The next.Hessenbox can be accessed at the following address: https://next.hessenbox.de. After selecting “Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen,” you can log in with your usual credentials. Instructions for using the next.Hessenbox can be found on the website of the University of Kassel , which operates the next.Hessenbox for all universities in Hesse or on the webpages of out IT service center (HRZ) .
If you have any questions, the Helpdesk of the IT Service Centre (HRZ) or we will be happy to assist you.
Using the various next.hessenbox apps, you can synchronize data between next.hessenbox and your computers and mobile devices. Because next.hessenbox is based on the Nextcloud product, the Nextcloud desktop and mobile clients are used. You can download them here for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Instructions for the desktop clients are also available on the official Nextcloud website in various languages. You can set your preferred language at the bottom left of the page.
