The Cloud server uses Single Sign-On. Once you’ve signed in to SSO via any service, you’re signed into your Cloud server account, and you won’t be re-prompted to log in again until you sign out or your SSO session expires.

The Cloud server also supports logging Single Sign-Out. When you log out of the Cloud server, you are also logged out of your SSO session, so you’ll be prompted for credentials the next time you access any service integrated with SSO.

ONLYOFFICE

The ONLYOFFICE Desktop App ( Windows |  macOS |  Linux) is free, and can connect directly to the Cloud server, allowing simultaneous editing with other users (the others can edit via web or the desktop app, so long as all are loading the document from the Cloud server directly instead of from a local file).
