How to connect ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors to ownCloud or Nextcloud

We continue to broaden the integration with our officially introduced partners, ownCloud and Nextcloud. Following the technical cooperation plans, we’ve released the new version of ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors that you’re able to connect to both cloud storage platforms. Just follow the easy instructions of our today’s blog post and learn how to do it.

• directly access print service;
• get advanced work with buffer to avoid browser clipboard limitations.
