This should cover the bases for most home users, but if you require access to calendar, mail, projects support or CRM functionality, you won't find them here but supported by the online version (which you can self-host). The local version Office suite ships with a document, spreadsheet and presentation editor only. While I cannot say for use why the connection happens, a possible explanation is that it attempts to find a locally hosted server version of ONLYOFFICE in the network environment. The program tries to connect to the network on start. The installation on a Windows machine holds no surprises and should not take too long to complete. The Linux version is offered as a DEB, RPM or GUI package. Compatibility is quite good all Windows versions starting with Windows XP are supported both as 32-bit and 64-bit editions. The desktop edition of ONLYOFFICE is available for Linux, Mac OS and Windows devices. The main difference between the self-hosted Community Edition and the desktop version of ONLYOFFICE is that the former acts like your own personal Office365 / Google Docs environment that up to 20 users can connect to.Ĭonnecting the Office suite to a server enables additional features such as real-time co-editing and document commenting, a revision system, and device independent access to documents.



The desktop, apps and the self-hosted community edition server versions of ONLYOFFICE are free to use and cover all the bases that you might require.
