OnlyOffice Online

OnlyOffice is a complete office suite that gives users the ability to view, edit, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, and presentation decks. The online version is integrated with SmarterMail's File Storage area, so SmarterMail users can edit files currently stored in File Storage, or even create new files and have the stored automatically. Best of all, it's included for free and does not require users to have an OnlyOffice account or a subscription to OnlyOffice!

Creating New OnlyOffice Files

Creating a new file using OnlyOffice is extremely simple: just use the New button and select the type of file you want to create: Creating a new OnlyOffice file
Once you've made your choice, the New Document modal will open, allowing you to name your file, select (or change) the type of file you want to create, and then select where you want the new file to be stored. Once done, click the Save button and the new file is created, and a new browser tab opens so you can begin editing your new file. Note: As SmarterMail's OnlyOffice integration does not require an account or paid subscription, it's only possible for a domain to have a maximum of 20 OnlyOffice "sessions" open at one time. If more sessions are required, OnlyOffice offers a number of paid plans that offer many more options. Editing an OnlyOffice Presentation

Editing Existing Files

Editing an existing file is just as easy. Simply click the Actions (⋮) button on any text file, document, spreadsheet, or presentation, and select Edit with OnlyOffice from the menu options.
The OnlyOffice Online editor will open in a new browser tab, and you can edit to your heart's content.

Currently, OnlyOffice Online document creation and editing is only available in File Storage. However, we are working on making it available with other Cloud Storage providers.
