This guide shows how to connect Thinkfree Office to Nextcloud so your users can create and edit documents directly in Nextcloud.

Prerequisite:
Before you begin, make sure you have: 

1) a running Thinkfree Office Server, 
2) Nextcloud 31 or later, and 
3) Nextcloud administrator access. 

The Thinkfree Office Server must be reachable from both your Nextcloud server and your users’ browsers.

If you don’t have a Thinkfree Office server deployed yet, visit here for the quick start guide. 

Step 1. Configure TFO WOPI Settings:

Log into the TFO server admin and access the TFO Admin screen - [ External linkage ] section. Click [ Add Adapter ] at the top right.


Set the WOPI adapter properties as follows and register it. 
Name : wopi 
WOPI Host URL : {nextcloud address}/apps/thinkfree/wopi/files 
WOPI Client Domain : { TFO server address }

Step 2. Install the Thinkfree Connector

Sign in as a Nextcloud administrator

Open your avatar menu and select Apps

In the Office & text category, search for Thinkfree Office Connector. Select Download and enable.

Step 3. Configure Thinkfree Connector Settings in Nextcloud

Open your avatar menu, select Administration settings, then open the Thinkfree Office tab.

In Thinkfree Office Server Address, enter the URL of your server (for example, https://demo.thinkfree.com) and select Save.”

Step 4. Create and Open Documents

In the Files app, select + New and choose a document type. Nextcloud creates the file from a default Thinkfree template.

Open and edit a document. Select the file, then choose Open in Thinkfree Office. The editor loads the file from your Nextcloud storage.
