In Nextcloud, user’s Federated Cloud ID works similar to an email address or a Mastodon handle, allowing them to exchange data across servers: share files and and collaborate on documents, communicate in group chats and make audio and video calls.

Federated tools available in Nextcloud:

Federated file sharing

Share documents and media to users in other Nextcloud Hub instances for viewing, editing and collaboration.

Federated chatting

Create group chats with users from different servers and use many essential chat tools.

Federated calls

Make audio and video calls with Nextcloud Talk among users from different servers.

Yeah, it doesn't use ActivityPub, but they are federated amongst themselves. So my NC can share documents seamlessly with my friend's NC even though we're on different domains.

Well, there is a social app for Nextcloud which uses AP, so you can use your account to connect to the Fediverse. That functionality is separate from the file sharing though and not installed by default.
