<div style="color: #333; font-size: 12pt; margin: 36px 0 16px; font-weight: bold;">Yes, you can use ONLYOFFICE within Nextcloud</div>
<p>If you need to work with office documents (OOXML &#8211; docx, xlsx, pptx &#8211; or ODF) and collaborate on them in real-time, <a href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/office-suite.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=ncforbeginners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ONLYOFFICE online editors</a> are going to be perfect for you.</p>
<p>You will need an instance of ONLYOFFICE that can be installed on the same machine as your Nextcloud or on the different one:</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose ONLYOFFICE Community Edition* if you need a free solution for a small team. It has a limitation of 20 connections**. <a href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/download.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=ncforbeginners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Download &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></li>
<li>Choose ONLYOFFICE Integration Edition if you need a scalable enterprise solution with professional tech assistance. There are three tariff plans &#8211; for up to 50/100/200 connections. Clustering is also available. <a href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/integration-edition-prices.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=ncforbeginners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prices &gt;&gt;&gt;</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Check Community Edition vs Integration edition comparison <a href="https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-nextcloud" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p><em>*Community Edition has online editors AND collaboration platform. If you are planning to use the editors within Nextcloud, out of the whole pack you’ll need only Document Server.</em></p>
<p><em>**We specified the maximum number of documents that can be edited at the same time. When the maximum value is reached, each next document will open in read-only mode.</em></p>
<div style="color: #333; font-size: 12pt; margin: 36px 0 16px; font-weight: bold;">Integration app</div>
<p>Use our ready connector to link ONLYOFFICE and Nextcloud instances to each other. The connector is available on <a href="https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-nextcloud" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub</a>, but the easiest way is to install it from <a href="https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/onlyoffice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nextcloud app store</a>.</p>
<p>After installation, you will see a new option in the settings menu. There, you’ll need to specify the address of the machine with ONLYOFFICE installed.</p>
<div style="color: #333; font-size: 12pt; margin: 36px 0 16px; font-weight: bold;">Test without installing</div>
<p>You don’t necessarily need to go through the installation process if you want to try ONLYOFFICE editors. Recently, we launched a special Demo server. Just install the integration app and tick the box “Connect to demo ONLYOFFICE Document Server”.</p>
<p><a href="https://static-blog.onlyoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/onlyoffice_nextcloud_integration_demo_test_server-1.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-14041" src="https://static-blog.onlyoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/onlyoffice_nextcloud_integration_demo_test_server-1-1024x566.png" alt="" width="640" height="354" srcset="https://static-blog.onlyoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/onlyoffice_nextcloud_integration_demo_test_server-1-1024x566.png 1024w, https://static-blog.onlyoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/onlyoffice_nextcloud_integration_demo_test_server-1-300x166.png 300w, https://static-blog.onlyoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/onlyoffice_nextcloud_integration_demo_test_server-1-768x425.png 768w, https://static-blog.onlyoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/onlyoffice_nextcloud_integration_demo_test_server-1.png 1134w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>This is a server for public testing. Don’t use it to process sensitive data. The demo server supports up to 1,000 connections. It will be available to you for 30 days.</p>
<div style="color: #333; font-size: 12pt; margin: 36px 0 16px; font-weight: bold;">Technological partnership with Nextcloud</div>
<p>ONLYOFFICE and Nextcloud are <a href="https://wpblogpost.teamlab.info//2018/11/onlyoffice-and-nextcloud-partner-to-deliver-seamless-collaboration-for-modern-organizations/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=ncforbeginners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">official technology partners</a> since 2018, and we are constantly deepening our integration. The most recent updates are listed <a href="https://wpblogpost.teamlab.info//2019/09/onlyoffice-connector-for-nextcloud-v-3-0-watermarks-mail-merge-demo-server-and-more/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=ncforbeginners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<div style="color: #333; font-size: 12pt; margin: 36px 0 16px; font-weight: bold;">Working on mobile devices</div>
<p>You can use our apps for <a href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/office-for-ios.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=ncforbeginners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iOS</a> and <a href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/office-for-android.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=ncforbeginners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Android</a> to access your office docs stored in Nextcloud. On iOS devices, you’ll also be able to edit them. For Android, editing is coming soon.</p>
<div style="color: #333; font-size: 12pt; margin: 36px 0 16px; font-weight: bold;">Differences from Collabora</div>
<p>This is a popular question. ONLYOFFICE uses OOXML (docx, xlsx, pptx) as core formats. Collabora is a successor of LibreOffice, so it specializes in ODF (odt, ods, odp).</p>
<p>ONLYOFFICE also supports ODF through conversion. Learn more <a href="https://wpblogpost.teamlab.info//2018/09/onlyffice-makes-it-easier-to-work-with-odf-in-integrated-solutions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>We also wrote an article on the <a href="https://wpblogpost.teamlab.info//2018/09/format-race-2018-docx-over-doc-and-odt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">popularity of different formats</a>.</p>
