Loffice 365

Update: This project is powered by nativefier which is no longer maintained. This project will continue to work for now, but will break in the future and won't receive any security updates. If you want to uninstall, see the uninstallation section below.

An electron wrapped Office 365 application integrated into your file manager as if it was a native application.

Supported applications

Microsoft Excel 365 Microsoft OneNote 365
Microsoft Outlook 365 Microsoft PowerPoint 365
Microsoft Project 365 Microsoft Word 365

How it works

  • When opening a file on your local system, it is symlinked to a temporary OneDrive folder
  • The onedrive application is then used to synchronize that folder to OneDrive
  • The file is then opened in a nativefied version of Office 365
  • Once the application is closed, onedrive syncs the file back locally, and the file in OneDrive is removed

Installation

First, you will need the linux OneDrive CLI client, zenity, and ImageMagick if it is not already installed.

On Ubuntu, zenity and ImageMagick can be installed with:

sudo apt install zenity imagemagick

The OneDrive CLI client can be installed by following the instructions for Ubuntu or other distributions.

Next, login to your OneDrive personal or business account:

onedrive

After visiting the URL that is provided, your browser will end on a blank page. Copy the URL from the location bar, and paste it at the prompt to complete the login.

After that, run the installer for Loffice 365:

# Option 1: Download and run the installer only
