Hello.
I have just installed Nextcloud Office, a Collabora server. Both tested and working. I have just downloaded the OSX desktop app for Collabora, however, the settings are greyed out..? What have I missed here? I’m trying to get into settings to connect the desktop app to the server…
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Hey @deljones
Welcome to collabora online forum. So Sorry for the late reply i am catching up with the topics of forum this week.
This is a common point of confusion. The Collabora Office desktop app (the one you’ve installed on macOS) is essentially a standalone, offline office suite
To edit documents via your Collabora Online server, you access it entirely through the Nextcloud web interface in your browser. When you open a document in Nextcloud, it automatically launches the Collabora Online editor in-browser — no desktop app needed.
If you want native desktop integration with Nextcloud, what you’re looking for is the Nextcloud Desktop Client (not the Collabora desktop app). That syncs your Nextcloud files locally and can be configured to open documents through your browser-based Collabora Online editor.
Let me know your exact application so i can guide you correctly
Thanks
