Help setting up real-time collaboration in LibreOffice v. 25.8

Hi - I’m new here :slight_smile: :wave:t3:

I found an article, which mentions sharing and real-time collaborating, as well as setting up OneDrive in LibreOffice. But I cannot find the Collaborate button it mentions.

Real-time sharing is exactly what I need, but it seems difficult to set up? I found a German post on the matter, but it uses Linux commands to get packages and set everything up, a way to install that doesn’t work in the same easy way on Windows.

… So I had to find a “Windows way”

I currently run my documents from the Windows-integrated OneDrive Personal in Explorer, but I found an option to set it up inside LibreOffice too, which I assume is needed if you want real-time collaboration support?

Digging deeper (Getting started > Files on remote servers) I found mentions of setting up Remote Servers.

I’ve found the option to set up OneDrive in LibreOffice, but… The Share field is empty and I do not know what to put in there. I read in another post on this, something about a URL for OneDrive for web?

I’ve tried:

  • Searching the full manual
    (Which has even less info about the topic than the Getting started guide.)

  • Searched the forum for “OneDrive” and found people asking for specific issues, but did not find a general setup guide

  • Searched the internet on how to set up OneDrive in LibreOffice, but also no luck :frowning:
    (Most hits lead back to this forum)

I’ve seen mentions of an mDrive OOo extension, which I may or may not need?
I use 2FA for my Microsoft OneDrive account.

Any help or pointers you can give is much appreciated 🫶🏼
