Zoho has entered the chat. Seriously though, what are they supposed to use now?

  LibreOffice.

    Or some version of Collabora (LibreOffice with support)
    • chris_wot 4y ago
      That would be the ideal! These guys (and Allotropia) do amazing work.

  I guess they could use normal Microsoft Office (not the cloud version).

  Microsoft Office, locally, for document editing. For simultaneous cloud editing they'll have to switch to alternatives such as NextCloud, OnlyOffice, Open-Xchange, you name it. Plenty of fish in the sea, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Some scale great for small primary schools, others scale better for high schools and universities. This entire problem could've been solved years ago when the GDPR grace period started; then when Safe Harbor blew up as expected by just about everyone, they had another chance to start working on a fix. Then the fix should've had priority since Privacy Shield was invalidated, because they have been in violation of the law since. I'm sure institutions will cry foul and beg the government not to fine them because they could've never seen it coming, because the solution to privacy laws always seems to be "ignore the law and pretend you'll never get caught".

  ONLYOFFICE can also do collaborative online editing, and sharing, for free (and it's also open source!) https://personal.onlyoffice.com/ https://personal.onlyoffice.com/
