As for cloud service try to use Group-office it real amazing product.
As for online documents use ICLOUD
Group-office looks really nice. Too bad it is not completely open sourceâŚ
And Icloud?.. NoooooooS⌠I am allergic to apples⌠
Iâd use this before Office 365 any day:

Thatâd be really cool, if NS supported it!
Owncloud already is supported with NS right? Whould it be a big issue to make LOOL available?
I see that there also is a client component. That might be a problem since it needs to be installed and/or controlled by the sysadmin. Maybe some repository from where that package can be pushed to clients?
We need 8.0 at least so itâs unfortunately postponed to NS7

Iâm now more and more convinced that we should write down a blog post about this discussion.
Why moving from office366 to NethServer at school? Would anyone like to tackle this challenge? I can help out
This discussions have no end. Well, i think that Nethserver works for some Companies very good, and i think that they schould support projects like this with spending some, Money, Hardware, Knowledge.When Teachers asking if Nethserver, Owncloud and so on, works like Office 365 , they schould really just stay there, at M$.NO it does NOT.Linux is not Microsoft and Microsoft is not Linux.If you just search for an free alternatives, you are very wrong here, youâll never find it in Open Source, and Open Source means not FREE.Some people just really donât understand.This Programmers that gave us Nethserver must pay also their bills, they donât get nothing for free.Maybe Office 365 
???
MS, Apple, Google, they just want your money, nothing works there perfectly, and thatâs why Teacher schould teach , and be neutral, and donât isnatll as hobby âoneâ Server at school, when they donât understand what they accually want. This disscussions are just boring, and especially from People that didnât understand the difference between Open Source and Free.Yes, MS, Google and Apple gives you much for free, but takes also loooooot from you.

Hi @stojovski
Thnx for adding to this discussion. I am particularly interested in getting NethServer (and opensource) to educational environments. I will have my talk at NethServer Conference in September in Italy about this topic.
We are over a year further in this discussion and in the meantime webbased libreoffice has matured a lot. It would be great to have this available out of the box in NethServer-NextCloud. Then you have Samba4 account provider with NextCloud and Libreoffice online/Collabora/⌠integration.
My point is, that if this is not available, schools will not even consider choosing for opensource or NethServer.

I understand this, but you must understand that schools want something for Free, that means,a Goevernment , and i canât understand, why the are able to Pay Microsoft Millions, and to Open Source nothing. That ist what i am angry for.
I donât think it is the free part that is most important. Otherwise, schools and governments wouldnât be prepared to pay a lot to commercial parties like Microsoft, Adobe and the likes.
I think they want to have a reliable solution and put the responsibility of the infrastructure in the hands of third parties.
Itâs up to us to convince them that opensource can be as stable as closed source and have at least the same availability and functionality.
So letâs work on a solid solution that can compete with the solutions that MS and Google bring. And that is more than just a server running Nextcloud with LibreOffice online.
