Hi All

Not sure where the best place to post this is but wanted to share our experience as these issues will need to be solved before we can offer Collabora Office + NextCloud integration to be able to compete with O365 services.

We've been using Collabora + NC for a long time the integration is right up there for document management + editing + collaboration with multiple users.

For the SM service to be well accepted by users as an alternative to O365 + MS online apps and even Google Workspace the document editing and connecting to external storage needs to be improved.

ATM we are running the latest release as of SM today October 8th 2025.

- connecting to NC is very slow, the servers are sitting on the same host so there is no reason for this latency to index.

- SM > Storage > NC > not able to edit files located on nextcloud storage with Collabora Office

- no preview available for files on NC

-- this is limited to download a file only.

- SM > not able to edit files that are attachments in an email, only preview is available which is very limited.

- in contrast if the file is stored locally in SM > storage > then the doc can be edited in Collabora Office.

if we are missing some setting to enable these standard functions please advise happy to review.
