Euro-Office — A private document workspace, built into EmpireVault
Euro-Office adds a full document workspace to EmpireVault — store and share files, then open, edit, and collaborate on Office and OpenDocument documents right in your browser. It runs on an independent cloud — not Amazon, Google, or Microsoft — and is built on open formats, and it lives on the same data layer as your CRM, quotes, contracts, and tickets. No third-party drive, no separate login, and your documents never touch Google or Microsoft servers.
We are building Euro-Office in phases. Today the file foundation, sharing — including external collaborators and public links — and in-browser viewing and editing are live, with version history in progress; the implementation status below shows exactly where each capability stands, and this page updates as we ship.
What Euro-Office brings
Your documents, on your platform
Files and documents live inside EmpireVault, not scattered across a separate cloud drive. Store, organise, and find them next to the customer record, deal, or contract they belong to — and reach them with the same login and the same permissions as the rest of your platform.
Private and open by default
Euro-Office runs on an independent cloud — not Amazon, Google, or Microsoft — so your documents stay off Big Tech, where they cannot be scanned, indexed, or mined for training data. It is built on open document formats, which means no proprietary lock-in and no surprise migration fees if your needs change. Your data is yours.
One data layer
Because documents share the same database as the rest of EmpireVault, a contract sits with its deal, a proposal sits with its contact, and a signed file sits with its ticket — with no integration to set up and nothing to sync.
Building in the open
Implementation status
Euro-Office ships in phases. Here is exactly where each capability stands today.
Last updated: 12 July 2026
Store, organise, upload, download, and restore files and folders.
Share with your team, or invite outside collaborators by verified email to view or edit — no account needed. Anonymous view links with optional expiry and password. Owners control every share; admins oversee and can revoke all external access, with a full audit trail.
Open and view Office and OpenDocument files in the browser, with formatting preserved.
Create and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, and PDF files in the browser with autosave — live today, including for invited external collaborators. A full version history you can restore is the remaining piece.
Multiple people editing the same document live, with presence so you can see who is working where.
Comments and @mentions, notifications, full-text search, CRM and e-signature integration, and reporting.
Build out a new EU-based instance for full data sovereignty.
Private mail & calendar
Alongside documents, Euro-Office can connect your own mail and calendar through Open-Xchange, an independent backend that keeps your mail off Google and Microsoft. It runs independently of the document phases above, so it can be switched on whenever it suits you — giving your team email, calendar, and documents under one roof, off Big Tech.
Put your documents where your customer work already lives.
