Free Your Documents: Collabora Online + SharePoint Integration
Microsoft has been steadily tightening its ecosystem, nudging customers deeper into a garden that’s slowly closing around them. But more and more organisations are realising they need a solution that works with their infrastructure, not against it.
That’s where Collabora Online comes in.
It’s a powerful, open-source online office suite built for organisations and platforms that want document editing under their own control. Whether you prefer to run it self-hosted, fully cloud-based, or as a hybrid setup, Collabora Online gives you the flexibility to choose what fits your needs — without locking you in.
One particularly relevant use case: integration with Microsoft SharePoint. You can keep using SharePoint as your document store while editing those documents through Collabora Online, keeping everything under your own control.
This is especially timely given that Microsoft Office Online Server is reaching end of life on 1 January 2027. If you’re relying on it, now is a good time to look at a self-hosted alternative.
