ONLYOFFICE DocSpace

With ONLYOFFICE DocSpace plugin, you are able to use ONLYOFFICE DocSpace right within WordPress to create rooms, edit and collaborate on office docs, as well as you can add DocSpace rooms and files stored within these rooms to the WordPress pages when creating posts.

In the DocSpace User Status column of this list, you can track whether a WordPress user has been added to DocSpace or not:
