ONLYOFFICE allows you to edit the files stored in your Seafile account and collaborate on them using both online and desktop editors. Thereby, you can use not only online collaboration tools but also the features available in your desktop application only:

  • protecting documents with a digital signature,
  • sending the currently edited file right from the editor using the Send plugin,
  • inserting audio and video via the Presentation Editor.

To take full advantage of all these editing options you’ll need to install and configure several components:

  1. It's supposed that you already have a Seafile 7.1.13 Pro server instance installed and configured. If not, you can refer to the Seafile official installation instructions.
    To ensure a stable connection, add the following line into the seahub_setting.ру file: ONLYOFFICE_DESKTOP_EDITORS_PORTAL_LOGIN = True
  2. Install ONLYOFFICE Docs. Please note that Seafile server and ONLYOFFICE Docs must be accessible to each other over the network.
    One of the easiest ways to install and configure ONLYOFFICE Docs is to use our Docker installation.
  3. Connect your Seafile server to ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors.

An Internet connection is required for connecting your Seafile server, as well as for real-time co-editing.

Step 1. Install ONLYOFFICE Docs

The easiest way to install ONLYOFFICE Docs is to use Docker. To find detailed instructions on how to install ONLYOFFICE Docs using Docker, you can refer to this article.

To make sure that ONLYOFFICE Docs is installed successfully, enter the IP address and, optionally, port (if it has been changed during the installation) in your browser address bar, e.g. http://192.168.3.202:81 - the ONLYOFFICE Docs welcome page should open.

To learn more about the configuration process, please read the article on Seafile-ONLYOFFICE integration. You can also deploy the instances within UCS.

Step 2. Connect to Seafile server

Launch ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors. To connect Desktop Editors to your Seafile server, perform the following actions:

  1. Switch to the Connect to cloud section on the left side panel.
  2. Click the Seafile cloud service button. Alternatively, you can use the Connect now link at the bottom.
    Connect to cloud tab Connect to cloud tab
  3. If you pressed the Seafile service button, the Connect to cloud office window opens with Seafile selected. If you used the Connect now link, choose the Seafile cloud storage from the drop-down list.
    • in the Cloud office URL field, enter your Seafile server domain name or IP address. When ready, click the Connect now button.
      Connect to cloud office window Connect to cloud office window

    • The Seafile sign in page will open in a new tab of the Desktop Editors interface.

      • Specify your Username or email and the Password you use to access your Seafile account,
      • Click the Log in button.
      Connect to cloud office window Connect to cloud office window

The Files section of your Seafile account will open. Now you can edit your existing files and create new ones, share your documents and collaborate on them with Seafile users using ONLYOFFICE editors.

Step 3. Manage your connected accounts

Click the logo in the upper left corner of the Desktop Editors interface to return to the main program window, then switch to the Connect to cloud section to view the Connected clouds list. Right-click on a connected cloud office and use one of the available contextual menu options:

  • Open - to switch to the corresponding cloud storage tab, if you are already logged in to this account, or to open the Connect to cloud office window, if you are not currently logged in (in this case, you will need to enter your credentials),
  • Logout - to exit from your account,
    You can also click the Exit icon icon to the right of the account to exit from it.
  • Remove from list - to disconnect the selected account and remove it from the list.

If you have several accounts or clouds, use the Add cloud button to connect one more account.
