🏐 How do you keep 10 volleyball teams and 200 members in sync? For the volleyball department of Niendorfer TSV in Hamburg, the answer was to move away from endless email chains and scattered file versions. The volunteer-run club needed a solution that could provide: 📁 One up-to-date version of every document 🔒 Control over sensitive member data 📱 Easy access for volunteers working from mobile devices 📄 Reliable compatibility with Microsoft Office files 🤝 Real-time collaboration without the usual version chaos By combining ONLYOFFICE Docs with Nextcloud, the club created a shared workspace for everything from meeting minutes and team lists to sponsor materials, presentations, and training plans. The result? No more wondering who has the latest version of a file. Volunteers can simply open a document and work on it together. 📖 Read the full case study: https://onlyo.co/3U1ePqM
