How to use OnlyOffice
-
I want to use OnlyOffice on my Mac and other devices and connect to a Cloudron app for document storage, syncing, and hopefully even reading and editing. I'm more than a little confused...
I have the latest versions installed
- Cloudron: ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.3.1
- Mac: Community version 9.3.1
ONLYOFFICE (this app)
When I navigate to this it just says "Document server is running". How is this app meant to be used? When I try to add it as a "Cloud" on my Mac OnlyOffice application it opens a new tab in the modal with a "Cannot GET /Products/Files/". If it's not a "cloud" for OnlyOffice, then what is it?Cubby
Could I use Cubby instead for storage and syncing? How? I also get "Cannot GET /Product/Files/" message when trying to connect as a Box cloud in my local OnlyOffice application.NextCloud + ONLYOFFICE (nextcloud app)
I'd prefer not to use NextCloud, I just prefer something a little more focused.Syncthing
Haven't tried this yet, but sounds like it could be an option.Are there other options I'm not seeing in the app store?

Hello @sfeldkamp
If it's not a "cloud" for OnlyOffice, then what is it?
The OnlyOffice app is a service that provides the OnlyOffice functionality to other apps.
Like you have found out correctly, NextCloud or Cubby. -
Ok, I think that my misunderstanding is that neither Cubby or the ONLYOFFICE document server handles any sync from a local device to the cloudron app.
Cubby - a fileserver app with WOPI ability
ONLYOFFICE - a WOPI document serverIf you configure Cubby to point to the ONLYOFFICE document server (under settings) then you can edit an OnlyOffice file (like .docx) in the Cubby app.
Neither of these support any sync from a local device to the Cubby fileserver. You have to create locally and upload to Cubby or create on Cubby and download it to your local device.
Correct me if I'm wrong about any of that.

Hello @sfeldkamp
The Cubby app does not yet have a desktop client app for file synchronisation.
Nextcloud offers this.
Still, even if you sync your files with e.g. Nextcloud, you will not be able to use OnlyOffice from your desktop since OnlyOffice is a web service, not a desktop service. -

There is actually a Desktop app too.
