Not judging the software at all, but the fact that OnlyOffice is owned/developed by a semi-sketchy Russian corporation would probably preclude it from getting any endorsement from a Western government.

    Cryptpad (which partly uses onlyoffice), writes about it here: https://forum.cryptpad.org/d/232-onlyoffice-concerns-vendor-makes-shady-moves/4

    I think it's an excellent post worth reading. Open Source entails collaborating with the whole world. Any code base is simply to big to audit from the start, but all incremental code can be audited, and you can disable stuff you don't need etc.

    For me, the post makes me trust cryptpad more than I did before.

    And yes. Cryptpaf = onlyoffice, but still relevant I think

    Edit: spelling of "worth"
