About this tag
The european cloud collaboration tag covers discussions around European-hosted productivity and collaboration tools, with a focus on sovereignty, open-source licensing, and interoperability with Microsoft Office formats. Recent content highlights the launch of Euro-Office 1.0, a web-based office suite integrated with Nextcloud Hub 26, and the debate over its OOXML-first approach. The Document Foundation warns this may undermine European digital sovereignty by perpetuating vendor lock-in, while proponents argue it eases migration from proprietary ecosystems. The tag reflects tensions between practical compatibility and the goal of fully independent European cloud infrastructure.
