ONLYOFFICE

Collaborative Editing in ownCloud

ONLYOFFICE and ownCloud are offering a joint solution. The ONLYOFFICE integration enables access and collaborative editing of Microsoft Office file formats from the ownCloud frontend in real time. ONLYOFFICE gives ownCloud users another reliable and user-friendly way to collaboratively edit documents. ONLYOFFICE is a powerful online editor for text documents, spreadsheets or presentations and is compatible with all MS Office files.

Users can access their office documents within the ownCloud web front in real time, author new content, share their work and collaboratively work on the same document with others, all while others can see changes in real time and take over editing. No longer are users plagued with version conflicts that could occur while working independently on documents.

ONLYOFFICE provides enterprises with a scalable, commercially supported version with Long Term Support, signed security updates and a SLA.
