Collaboration on local Nextcloud files

Do you want to: Suggest a feature

It would be really interesting to be able to open a local file, that’s synced with Nextcloud and ONLYOFFICE would detect it being synced with Nextcloud Desktop therefore enabling collaboration. This would probably require some local connection to the Nextcloud Desktop client.

Hello @anatol_newton

Please elaborate on the suggested scenario. Are you referring to the collaboration from the Nextcloud Desktop client, i.e. not from the web interface?

Yes, I am reffering to opening filea from the Nextcloud Desktop Client.

As far as I know, Nextcloud Desktop keeps basically a copy of the file on device and syncs it periodically with the on-premise version, which means there is no way to connect to the local file for collaboration.

I believe it is much easier to connect Desktop Editors to your Nextcloud portal to access the online files and collaborate on them. Please see this article:
