Euro-Office is now available on desktop (as Nextcloud Office Desktop)

Euro-Office, the Nextcloud-backed fork of ONLYOFFICE, is now available to download and install on desktops, as Nextcloud Office Desktop.

Announced in March 2026 as a European-based alternative to Microsoft 365, Euro-Office is a fork of ONLYOFFICE. Like that suite, it’s something users can host (or pay someone to host) and then access via a web browser or mobile.

Nextcloud Office Desktop is powered by Euro-Office, and installs like a traditional desktop office suite (built on ONLYOFFICE’s own Desktop Editors code). You don’t need to host a server or be online to use it.

Naturally, it opens Microsoft Office OOXML file formats (like DOCX, XLSX and PPTX), as well as ope formats (like ODT, ODS and ODP).

The desktop build can be used to connect to Nextcloud or other server for collaborative editing, so those who currently use a hosted version can continue to work the same, but with a desktop app.

Since the suite runs locally, your installed fonts are available to choose from. If you need to format a document with a certain typeface, or have to ensure compatibility with people on other systems, now you can.

Download Nextcloud Office Desktop

Nextcloud Office Desktop is free, open-source software available to download from the Nextcloud website. Installers are provided for Intel/AMD and ARM64 versions of Windows and macOS, and Intel/AMD versions of Linux (DEB and RPM).

No sign of a Flathub or Snap Store listing yet.

ONLYOFFICE has not been too happy about the emergence of Euro-Office, and neither has LibreOffice – for differing reasons. More choice is a good thing, even if, in this case, it’s largely the same choice, rebranded.
