Hello team,
I would like to request native integration of ONLYOFFICE with Synology NAS, specifically Synology Drive.
Today, the only supported method is to run ONLYOFFICE Docs as a standalone Docker container on Synology. While this works as an independent document server, it cannot integrate directly with Synology Drive. This means that opening a document inside Synology Drive cannot launch the ONLYOFFICE editor/preview interface natively.
What I hope for:
- Ability to open Office documents stored in Synology Drive directly in ONLYOFFICE (just like how Drive previews PDF or photos).
- A native connector/plugin so that Synology Drive can pass files to an on-NAS ONLYOFFICE Docs instance.
- No need for additional third-party cloud storage, no additional “wrapper” web apps, and no need to deploy another full file-sync platform like Nextcloud or DocSpace.
- A seamless user experience where clicking a Microsoft Office document (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) in Synology Drive automatically opens it in ONLYOFFICE for viewing or editing.
Why this is important:
- Synology Drive is already the primary file management system on the NAS.
- Users want a simple, native solution without duplicating storage or running multiple file platforms.
- Synology NAS hardware is fully capable of hosting ONLYOFFICE Docs locally.
- Many users rely on Drive daily and would greatly benefit from integrated online editing.
There is strong demand in the community for this capability. A native connector would make ONLYOFFICE a perfect pairing with Synology NAS, similar to how ONLYOFFICE integrates with Nextcloud, ownCloud, Seafile, etc.
Please consider adding native Synology Drive integration or providing an official plugin/connector. It would greatly improve the user experience and unlock the full potential of ONLYOFFICE on Synology NAS.
Thank you!
