Why Nextcloud Office?
Nextcloud Office is a powerful online office suite with collaborative editing. It supports all major document, spreadsheet and presentation file formats and works in all modern browsers.
Nextcloud Office is built together with Collabora Productivity.
High fidelity WYSIWYG rendering
Documents show up exactly as you would print them, thanks to on-server, high-fidelity rendering. No more surprises!
Data under your control
Data stays on the server at all times – only rendered content is sent to the browser, not the raw document, so the chance for leaks is minimized!
Well integrated
Create and collaborate on documents during a video call, attach them to a task, view them in the Mail editor, or edit them directly on your desktop – Nextcloud Office is deeply integrated in the Nextcloud ecosystem.
Main features
Nextcloud Office offers editing of documents, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings and can read and write all major document formats like DOCX, PPTX and XLSX as well as a wide range of open formats. All these documents can be edited together with colleagues and from mobile or the browser interface.
View and edit documents directly in your Nextcloud
Nextcloud Office supports editing your documents in real time with multiple other editors, showing high fidelity, WYSIWYG rendering and preserving the layout and formatting of your documents.
Your data under your control
Most people use online services for storing their data, communication and editing documents, often giving up control over their files in exchange for the convenience of online collaboration. With Nextcloud Office, this is no longer a trade-off.
Nextcloud Office is Open Source, self-hosted and secure!

3,000 users at ucloud4schools migrated to Nextcloud by regio iT
“I see ucloud4schools as more than an educational cloud. It offers many apps that work together and shows possibilities that go far beyond the functions of an ordinary cloud. We will continue to extend our product and we are glad to have found a partner in Nextcloud with a healthy community and strong development and support capabilities.” – Stefan Döhler, Project Manager at regio iT
Nextcloud for 33K middle school students in France
Students work from home, inside Nextcloud Group Folders and use Collabora Online. This way teachers don’t have the issue that they don’t have the right Microsoft Office version to read the students’ work, avoiding interoperability problems.
Teachers and directors of schools use Collabora also for sharing and collaborating on administrative tasks.
