OfficeX - Google Docs, Sheets & Drive on ICP

Hello ICP maxxis :wave:

Some of you may know OfficeX already from Twitter :innocent: We want to formally introduce ourselves on Dfinity Forums. Meet our magnum opus, OfficeX.

OfficeX Where Freedom Works

OfficeX is a superior clone of google work / microsoft office for the 300M people censored by sanctions. 100% free, 100% open source, 100% decentralized.

Anonymous OfficeX includes:

  • Documents
  • Spreadsheets
  • Storage

A productivity status symbol for freedom lovers. App is live drive(dot)officex(dot)app

What makes OfficeX better than existing big tech?

  1. Superior Quality - Instant access, no signup required, core feature parity, true data ownership. Available offline & offchain first, its apocalypse proof immortal software on the ICP blockchain. No foreign entities can freeze your life. Survives total internet shutdowns & natural disasters.

  2. Free Unlimited Enterprise - Costs $0 for unlimited accounts, just pay your own gas. Open source transparency for paranoid corporations & governments. All features truly free forever, unlimited use. No we do not intent to make a profit (we challenge the assumption that its even necessary).

  3. Zero-Config Trustless Cloud - No setup required, instant secure cloud. All the convenience you expect from modern office software, without subscriptions or self-hosting woes. (our whitepaper explains more)

Why Crypto? Why ICP?

And where are these 300M people who can’t use existing solutions? What are they using instead?

  • Why Crypto? Because user data is toxic waste & internet tools are censored. Crypto solves this by offering private, permissionless, common software. Free for everyone.
  • Why ICP? Because its the only blockchain that offers http calls in smart contracts (aka superior tech). This is crucial for integration with existing tech stacks like AWS S3 & self hosted servers. Adoption demands it.
  • Where are these 300M people censored by sanctions? 11M Cubans, 28M Venezuelans, 57M Sudanese, 88M Iranians, 144M Russians, and many more. Microsoft & Google aren’t allowed to offer their cloud to these people. Instead, they use cracked versions of MSOffice or illegal VPNs or clunky self hosted solutions. Meanwhile OfficeX can be 1-click cloned to custom domain for censorship resistance & unstoppable collaboration.

What’s Next? Why use OfficeX today?

We know you like to keep your Google Drive organized - in that case, use OfficeX for instant anonymous file sharing & notes.
Keep your main storage clean :wink: Already available today

We are aggressively shipping every day. Currently two apps are live:

  • Drive Storage in Public Beta (use it today for anonymous file sharing)
  • Documents in Public Alpha (use it for anonymous notes)

We have a 10 year roadmap to be the #1 default choice for consumers, schools, corporations & governments worldwide. Today 2 billion people pay $65B annually for google work / microsoft office. Let’s make it free.

OfficeX - Where Freedom Works

Cool idea!

As far as I can tell from your source code on OfficeX · GitHub, you are saving data using IndexedDB and AWS S3. Are you still working on the integration with the Internet Computer and perhaps have not yet open sourced those parts of the code?

OfficeX is designed to be storage agnostic, so you can plug into whatever end location you wish.
The Github has ICP canister code written in Rust, however it’s not feature complete yet. ICP Canisters will be the primary storage location as its the most seamless cloud option. Our estimate for that is sometime in the next 3 months.

Currently we have ~211 users of which ~3 are daily active anons. We expect user growth to pick up rapidly in Q1 2025 according to our engineering / marketing roadmap.

Next time want to share a file but don’t want to mess up your clean organized GDrive, just use https:// drive .officex .app :wink: Free anonymous file sharing, instant access, no signup required.

The code is not currently public on GitHub it seems, but looking forward to it. Thanks for the feedback

Ah my apologies you are right, the icp canister repo is still private. We need to clean it up / ensure stable before making public.

There is some trace of the canister code in the frontend declaration files here. It is essentially a rust version of the same code. We want to make the canister code public asap!

Thank you for your kind words & support!

We hope to kickstart this trend of 100% free open apps (just pay own gas). Naturally this means value accrues to the chain layer - ICP :cowboy_hat_face:

Sorry guys, there is zero substance. Nothing what a script kiddie can’t pull together in minutes from open sources. Just marketing bla bla. Looks very faky to me.

Marketing is more important than the engineering for consumer products.

What a BS, tech is not easy at all – you seem to have nothing but pics.
Even https://fileverse.io/ has more than you.

Make sure you click the link to see the app :point_right: https://drive.officex.app
It’s already available today, use it next time you want to share files anonymously (avoid making your google drive messy)

You can see all the code on our github :point_right: OfficeX · GitHub

So storing on ICP is not possible yet?

But instead of ICP you pushing users to StorJ for a free 25GB?

Yes currently direct-in-canister storage is not yet implemented. We use Storj (web3) as its a direct drop-in SDK of Amazon S3, which is essential for bridging the gap to Web2 enterprise users (govts, corps, etc). Simply a triage decision of how we can deliver value faster to users.

ICP native storage will soon be the default storage option. However OfficeX is intended to be storage agnostic, including web2, web3, browser cache & “bring your own hard drive”.

OfficeX Drive is now live on ICP mainnet as alpha release v0.1 :tada:

:tada: Live on ICP Mainnet! :tada:

Before:
-OfficeX only had offline file organization, with free anon online filesharing
-Works only on 1 device

After:
-Cloud sync via ICP canisters
-Works on multiple devices with persistent sync’d accounts
-Burns canister cycles!

Limitations:
-Can only share individuals files, cannot share folders yet
-Only 1 authorized user can edit, cannot do multi-user collab yet

So now OfficeX is officially running on the ICP blockchain! Note its alpha release so subsequent updates are likely to break backwards compatibility.

Try it out as demo user principal “rs5y6…yae”

  1. Visit https://drive.officex.app/settings
  2. Import account from ICP seed phrase: “basic abstract virus van knock grape search source manage silent little eye”
  3. Go to https://drive.officex.app/drive/Web3Storj/ and click the refresh icon to sync with cloud to see the Easter Eggs (please don’t upload anything inappropriate, thanks!)
