OnlyOffice is working on my server, but now I ran into the problem that mobile editing is not supported and that there is a 20 person limit who can connect and work on the server at the same time.
It seems there is no real alternative in the YNH world… right? Or is there work done on Collabra or LibreOffice as alternatives?
Some more info on this can be found in the Nextcloud forum:
There’s already a working~ish Collabora app … but Collabora has its own set of arbitrary limits (something like 5 documents opened at the same time ?)
This is in fact “easy” to remove and we could provide some sort of automatic patch that disable that limitation - but then we fall into some stupid legal issues about “if you modify that stuff you can’t call your app collabora because it’s protected by trademark and stuff”. Which sounds completely whatthefuck when you know that this is supposed to be free software. But yeah, we tried to solve that mess and talked about it during dozens of hours, and there’s no real conclusion expect “meh”.
hm… that is a real bummer. So for unlimited collaborative editing in YNH the only real option is Cryptpad. But that doesn’t integrate with NC and is not as easy to use as OnlyOffice for a novice…
I have switch from OnlyOffice to Collabora few months ago, in an instance with lot of users. The limit is about 10 users or 20 connexion at the same time, but I think OnlyOffice is also limited.
For me it was necessary discovering that users have broken some files editing locally with with LibreOffice and then synchronize, the file with OnlyOffice was broken… I really think Collabora is more useless for interoperability
Also, the mobile app Collabora is free to use and works nice.
Just the interface UIX is less beautifull than OO…
yes, I not use it a lot but the app android Collabora Office do the trick, I am happy with the tests I have done, with exodus for privacy it’s 10/10, no trackers and no bad permissions.
