hey all i'm new to self hosting, and look for a little help, i'm trying to replace my Google Drive with Nextcloud, an not sure what path to take next.

Hi all,

i am running on Unraid via the official Nextcloud container with a seperate mariadb docker

I’ve recently downloaded my entire Google Drive and imported everything into Nextcloud, and so far that side of things has been working really well.

The main thing I’m trying to sort now is editing our various .xlsx and .docx files.

My partner and I used to share and edit these through Google Drive, so I’m looking for something that gives us a similar experience with Nextcloud. Ideally, we’d both be able to open and edit the files directly from the Nextcloud mobile app — she uses Android and I use iOS.

I’d really like to avoid having to install and jump between a separate office app if possible. The simpler and more intuitive it is, the better — mainly for the all-important wife approval factor!

What setup are people using for this? Ideally something that works nicely for both Excel and Word documents on Android and iOS.
