#Nextcloud promoting #OOXML as default document format and unwilling to switch back to #ODF lets proprietary software leave deeper imprint. And fits the blunder of #EuroOffice choosing #OnlyOffice instead of #CollaboraOnline. While Germany in its Deutschland-Stack demands ODF. Congratulations.
Not in Hamburg for COOL Days 2026? Come along with us anyway 🦫💜
We’ll be sharing the whole day live, so you can experience it with us, wherever you are.
🎥 Watch online via our YouTube channel on Tue 28th and Wed 29th April.

Focus on what makes your product unique.

This white paper explains why leading platforms choose Collabora Online instead.

Do your documents look the same on mobile as they do on desktop?
For many tools, mobile is still a compromise: good enough to check a file, but not always to trust what you’re seeing.
This blog explores how #CollaboraOffice for Mobile fits into the wider #CollaboraOnline experience, focusing on consistent rendering, practical mobile design, and working across devices.
If accurate documents on the go matter to you, this is a great read. 🦫 📱
