Mh ok nice, that means, OnlyOffice will also really work in Nextcloud soon. I had a lot of problems with the latest releases and switched to Collabora

Awesome news! Onlyoffice always worked better for me compared to Collabora, so I appreciate the partnership and hope the integration of OO into NC will further improve soon.

Hopefully there will be additional improvements regarding the installation of both tools on one server, because this is pretty tricky right now.

Are there limits in onlyoffices open source version? Icky installation is fine, but I think I read once it is limited to 20 concurrent users or something like that. (Or did I read that about collabora? Not sure)

At first glance, OnlyOffice was really a solution, we were looking forward. Good usability, main required features, cross platform compatibility, nice interface. Although, their license is not very open, yet, at some point we were looking to integrate paid options. But lately we were experiencing issues with opening MS Office files - empty screen and messed up formats. This was with OnlyOffice desktop editors. And Ubuntu instance updates/upgrades were falling down. Switched to Collabora - no issues, and a couple more Calc/Spreadsheet options opened to web based editors. Although, Collabora UI is a bit bulky, at least it works and no issues with MS Office file opening at all (until now).

You’re right jakob42. Their license is quite restrictive, also for private or very small office work should be enough. And you lack mobile editors without their full server. I’ts still open source, but it would be strange to deploy full DMS/CRM just for online/mobile editor use, plus overhead of managing users in 2 systems, or trying to integrate open source product, which is not so open source :slight_smile:

Really Great News for Us.

How could I miss that!? Thanks!

Could you please specify the issue. It also will be great if you could send us (or share with NC community) some examples, We are very proud of providing high quality MS formats support. I am sure that the issue will be fixed very quickly. (If you will help us to reproduce it)

Looks like the new 2.10 release is ready for the Desktop editors :slight_smile:

Any chance we will see pivot tables with the community edition of the document server also?
