Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my data when switching from Google Workspace?

No, most services allow you to export your data before closing your account. Follow the steps in our migration guide to safely transfer all your data to OnlyOffice.

Is OnlyOffice really more private than Google Workspace?

Yes, EU-based services like OnlyOffice must comply with GDPR, which provides stronger privacy protections. Your data won't be subject to US surveillance laws like the CLOUD Act.

What if I need help during migration?

Most EU alternatives offer customer support and migration assistance. Check OnlyOffice's website for their support options, or reach out to their team directly.
