Before we can offer you software in the form of a ‘Frama’ service, such as Framapad or Framadate, we need to test this software technically (is it stable? Is it easy to maintain? Can it handle thousands of people every day? etc.). That's what Framalab is all about - trying things out, tinkering, breaking things and starting again. You can use these softwares online, **THOUGH**, please note that no direct support will be provided by Framasoft for these test services (you can however ask for help on [Framacolibri](https://framacolibri.org/c/entraide/57) and that we are not committed to maintaining the services over time. In other words, your data could disappear overnight. We told you, it's for testing :)
[Framaspace](@:link.space) is our alternative to the ‘Big Tech’ clouds (Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, Dropbox, etc). Free, but reserved for small associations and Framaspace is based on open source software [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/). Our aim is to make these cloud spaces more welcoming for people discovering Nextcloud for the first time, by helping them to get to grips with the tool or by facilitating the migration of their existing data to Framaspace. At the same time, your donations will allow us to explore the possibility of increasing the functionalities of Framaspace by adding, for example, accounting or membership management tools via the integration of the [Paheko](https://paheko.cloud/) software.
