🚀 Overview

CloudOffice SaaS is a full-featured cloud-based office and productivity platform
designed to help teams create, edit, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
in real-time—just like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. It also includes tools for chat, file sharing,
and secure cloud storage within a unified web interface.

Built for modern businesses, universities, and startups, CloudOffice delivers a complete SaaS solution
that can be white-labeled, self-hosted, and monetized via user subscriptions.
This GPL version emphasizes experience-driven functionality (Experience),
robust backend architecture (Expertise),
credit to the original developer (Authoritativeness),
and transparent redistribution (Trustworthiness), fully aligned with E-E-A-T standards.
