Euro-Office

Euro-Office is an open-source, sovereign office suite for real-time collaborative document editing, designed to be integrated into other web applications.

Description

Euro-Office is an open-source, web-based collaborative office suite designed as an integration component rather than a standalone application. It provides real-time editing capabilities for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDF files, supporting formats like DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and TXT. Developed as a fork of the ONLYOFFICE codebase under the AGPLv3 license, it aims to offer a transparent, sovereign solution free from proprietary restrictions and geopolitical influences. The project is driven by a community of European companies and individuals, including IONOS, Nextcloud, and XWiki, with a focus on modern compatibility, mobile and desktop apps, and ease of contribution. It targets integration into platforms such as file-sharing solutions, wikis, and project management tools, empowering users with a free, open alternative for document collaboration.
