Welcome

Welcome to the OpenCloud knowledge base

This documentation helps you get started with OpenCloud, understand its main features, and find guidance for everyday tasks, administration, and troubleshooting.

What is OpenCloud?

OpenCloud is a file sharing and collaboration platform developed by the Heinlein Group. It helps teams store, organize, share, and collaborate on files across different devices and use cases.

You can access OpenCloud in different ways, depending on your workflow:

• The Web Client provides full access to OpenCloud features directly in the browser, including file management, collaboration features, and administration options based on your permissions.
• The Desktop Client synchronizes files between OpenCloud and your local computer for offline work and automatic updates.
• The iOS App provides convenient access to files and essential actions on iPhone and iPad.
• The Android App provides convenient access to files and essential actions on Android devices.
• Collabora in OpenCloud provides browser-based document editing and real-time collaboration for supported office files stored in OpenCloud.

Each client and integration is designed for a specific use case: the Web Client for full-featured browser access, the Desktop Client for local synchronization, the mobile apps for mobile access and everyday tasks, and Collabora Online for browser-based document editing and collaboration.
