And from the “business” standpoint - it is normal.
People’s claims of being disappointed, upset, misled, etc. is simply the moral coloring…
OO took a gamble playing hardball here.
If it doesn’t pan out they risk to go down the CyanogenMod path, i.e. being ostracized.
Time will tell…
Something along the lines of “hey, we just did a major incorporation of your software into our platform, could you maybe not paywall features immediately after…?”
That, and maybe having the ability to rearrange rows/columns in a spreadsheet would be nice. Frankly I’m not sure how someone gets by without such a basic feature.
Latvian, but it is not that far away and there are a lot of Russians there too. And yes, they have good software developers, but at least in Russia shady business practices are not that uncommon (other countries not excluded of course)…
This IS a financial contribution, who pays the developer doing the integration for one year?
With one year of developing, they provided Onlyoffice with more publicity and more widespread use than before because it is relatively easy to set up an Onlyoffice server now within Nextcloud. Saying that this is nothing is pretty lame towards the Nextcloud developers. 
They help spread Onlyoffice only to get stabbed in the back by them shortly after the release of “Nextcloud Hub” that includes Onlyoffice as an integral part of it.
It is not that uncommon to have some kind of “home and SMB” version that somebody important uses at home and then wants to have that feature in a bigger business too.
One simple way to get out of this mess would be to allow Nextcloud users to use the mobile editing feature (within the Nextcloud client for example) as a goodwill gesture.
…citizens. Maybe. The names are not.
The Baltics gave us alot, from Kazaa to Skype…
That’s all nice and dandy…
But how about looking at this thing from their perspective (I have nothing to do with them).
Nextcloud becomes their biggest distributor.
And one day drops it (let’s say Microsoft buys Nextcloud…
)… OO is dead…
That’s why companies never rely on one supplier/distributor having dominating market share…
Like I mentioned before it was a risky move on OO’s part. They decided it was worth it.
Maybe because (they think) NC has more to lose if the deal falls apart? Maybe because they are stupid?
Time will tell…
For those installing onlyoffice from package repo it might be quite hard to reverse the patches using github.
Because of corona times I’ve decided to publish this so please if you don’t want to blame the developers for their decission not to help in this sittuation people that need to work somehow from home, please blame corona and not me. Another thing - for all changes you’re yourself responsible.
Here is what I did:
search for:
isSupportEditFeature:function(){return!1}
and replace it with:
isSupportEditFeature:function(){return 1}
For me it gave me back ability to edit documents on my iPad after restarting document server and nginx to prevent any caching related issues. You will find the following 3 files to be changed:
documentserver/web-apps/apps/spreadsheeteditor/mobile/app.js:1
documentserver/web-apps/apps/documenteditor/mobile/app.js:1
documentserver/web-apps/apps/presentationeditor/mobile/app.js:1

Wow!
That’s nifty!
Thanks for sharing!!
Now, how long will it take OO to kill this workaround…? 
Can somebody say something about the licence? I do not understand it.
https://github.com/nextcloud/server : AGPL
https://github.com/nextcloud/documentserver_community : AGPL
https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/CommunityServer : GPL 3
https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-owncloud : AGPL
https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer : AGPL
Why should it not possible to use OnlyOffice Community Server in NextCloud?
I made this : https://github.com/Zegorax/OnlyOffice-Unlimited
In case someone is interested. I really hope OnlyOffice will change their minds.
Sure you can use it with Nextcloud, but you can’t edit files on mobile devices anymore with Onlyoffice Document Server (which this thread is all about).
That’s really impressive!
I think OO is starting to feel regret going down this rabbit hole… 
Yes. But i can fork it.
As a partial mitigation I created two issues to work around this if both Onlyoffice and Collabora are installed and activated on the Nextcloud server:
Basically this would allow to select which office suite could be used (it already partially works, but only ODT is opened by Collabora and DOCX is opened with Onlyoffice).
They just locked the conversation about this issue. They won’t solve this problem.
Oh man, what a move …
Community is just an afterthought for them.
I wonder if other companies with a business model around open source had similar problems in the past? GitLab and Nextcloud come to mind, which seem to be doing fine.
Well, Gitlab made a comparable move by including user behavior tracking (anti)-“features”, but they took it back after a huge outcry. Funny thing is they did it on their Enterprise version back then.
Onlyoffice simply doesn’t care about any kind of community. They were a proprietary company not so long ago and will stay that.
Of course.
Everything Oracle inherited after buying Sun Micro: Java, MySQL, OpenOffice…
Installed the OnlyOffice community server and wasn’t impressed. Does not seem to support templates, and the styles are hard to configure and apply. Not all the styles in my documents were available in the web editor - they came up in one dialogue but not in the ridiculous selector thing in the editor.
Is there a problem with LibreOffice online or the CODE version?
The main problem of LOOL or CODE is that the way they handle the resources.
They use a lot of the server resources whereas OnlyOffice use a lot of the client resources.
