Some of you may know OfficeX already from Twitter 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?
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.
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).
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.

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 Free anonymous file sharing, instant access, no signup required.
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!
I just read your article and I am blown away by your technology and what you propose to do for the people of the world. Thank you for your help in solving these issues that will aid the prople of vulnerable countries. I hate this elitist and racist ideological greed that these companies continually propetuate on to the populous. Bravo!
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.
Make sure you click the link to see the app 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)
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 has officially received a grant from Dfinity
Thank you ICP community for your cheers, critique & support. It took us 6 months to reach this milestone and we are so proud to represent. Proof of Grant on X and dfinity forums.
Proof of Grant While our team is anon, we are doxxed to the foundation. Here is the onchain tx sent from known grant wallets to our team wallet:
To prove we own this wallet, we will proceed to send 0.0001 ICP to various wallets from community members. Drop your ICP wallet address and we’ll send timestamp proof tx until satisfactory (10+ wallets over 24h). This is also on Twitter / X
