Open remote file in LibreOffice

User Support

Hello guys,
I’ve switched my Nextcloud instance from OnlyOffice to CollaboraOnline.
I thought that I could remotely open file directly from LibreOffice to bring some modification in file while other people could modify the file (collaborative edition) from Nextcloud instance but I couldn’t find this feature in LibreOffice.
Did I miss something or maybe that’s not possible ?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Not sure if fully understand what you’re intending to do.

You cannot edit it in LibreOffice at the same time while it’s edited in Collabora Online / CODE.

You’d most likely just overwrite changed done from CODE when saving.

It’s possibly to edit the same file alternately in LibreOffice and Collabora Online - you can access it in Nextcloud using

  • the Nextcloud sync client
  • via WebDAV if you mount it in your OS / configure it as a network drive (even though performance will not be too good)
  • LibreOffice’s “Open from Server” feature

Okay, many thanks for your feedback.
That’s what I thought.

So bad.
