How to connect Odoo to ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors

Starting with version 10.0, ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors lets you connect your Odoo account to access and edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs stored in your cloud on your computer. Discover how to connect Odoo to Desktop Editors and start working with your files.

About Odoo and ONLYOFFICE integration

Odoo is a platform to manage business processes such as sales, accounting, inventory, and project management. Documents are part of many of these workflows, from spreadsheets and reports to presentations and PDFs.

ONLYOFFICE already provides an integration that lets users create, edit, and collaborate on office documents directly within Odoo using ONLYOFFICE Docs.

Now, ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors adds Odoo as a cloud provider, so you can connect your Odoo account to the desktop application and work with your files.

What can you do with Odoo files in Desktop Editors?

The Odoo connection lets you work with several types of office files in the desktop application:

• Text documents for reports, contracts, business correspondence, and other written content.
• Spreadsheets for calculations, budgets, business data, and reports.
• Presentations for project updates, proposals, and business meetings.
• PDF files for viewing and working with documents in PDF format.

Use AI Tools to summarize and translate content, proofread text, analyze spreadsheet data, and work with PDFs. You need to configure a supported AI provider. Learn more in our article about ONLYOFFICE AI Tools.

You can also benefit from desktop-specific features. For example, if a document uses fonts installed on your computer, you can work with those local fonts in Desktop Editors. You can use your system’s printing services and spellcheckers as part of your usual desktop workflow.
