    Solved I seem to only be able to create md files, or edit existing md files. Nothing else.

      The default Nextcloud install includes a odf file which I had created when I had the CODE app installed from within Nextcloud. I uninstalled the CODE app, installed the Cloudron OnlyOffice app (not the Enterprise), then installed the OnlyOffice Connector (I guess that worked?) but now I can only create or edit md files. When I try to edit that odf file it starts to download. What gives? Aren't I supposed to be able to create/edit OOXML, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, TXT files?? Did I miss something??

        @scooke have you configured the onlyoffice connector plugin successfully in the Nextcloud settings?

          @nebulon Yes, followed the instructions, haven't received any error messages.

          My security key contains special characters... could this be messing something up?

          Strange. I was thinking it'd be so straightforward.

          I haven't entered anything in the Advanced settings, I just clicked it open.

            @scooke once you've successfully connected to your OpenOffice app, you get more options under the server settings where you choice which file types you want to use it for:

              @jdaviescoates I'll check that out. Thank you.
              EDIT: I don't have those options visible, yet the Only office Cloudron app and NC app are all installed. Weird.

                @scooke Are you able to reproduce this in the demo cloudron ? https://my.demo.cloudron.io (username/password: cloudron)

                  @girish Everything set up perfectly, the first time, immediately, in the demo cloudron.

                  I thought my secret was too long, so I shortened it (and restarted the OO app). Now, the additional file associations options are visible. I suspect my install is now working. I guess the secret was too long? It was initially 21 characters long with 2 punctuation characters. I removed the punctuation, and it still didn't respond (and restarted the app). This time, I just totally changed the secret to 15 characters, restarted the OO app, and now it seems to work.

                    @scooke my secret is currently 30 characters long and has punctuation, so I don't think that was your issue.

                      @jdaviescoates The two were a ( and a ^. It's the only thing that changed. Oh well.

                        @scooke still good to know about the limitation.

                          @nebulon I doubt there is either a length/ punctuation limitation myself. My guess is it's more likely human error and @scooke accidentally typoed or something beforehand (I do such things all the time, especially as I've recently changed laptop and so the keyboard and mousepad are different)

                                  That's totally an upstream bug..

                                    Given I have a longer secret a typo is more likley.

                                      @jdaviescoates Well, try inserting a ( or a ^. For that matter, I will try it actually. EDIT: Well, I've tried all three combos (just the ^, just the (, and both), and each time it still worked. I supposed it was a typo.

                                          @robi Nope, I use my cloudron-supplied Vaultwarden to generate the secret, then I copy and paste it. I save it in a Secure Note in Bitwarden. The copy-and-paste is why I feel sure it wasn't a typo. Whatever the problem, it resolved itself. I restarted the app after each change, but maybe I didn't wait long enough for the startup to finish.
