What is Acollab?
Acollab is a free, open-source, self-hosted online collaboration and productivity software. Developed in PHP, Acollab enables teams to collaborate on projects, share documents and files securely, manage tasks and to-do lists, host discussions, host video calls, and more - all within one unified platform.
Some key features of Acollab include:
- File storage and sharing - Store, access and share unlimited files and folders. Control permissions to make files viewable, editable or private. Includes version history.
- Document collaboration - Create, edit and collaborate on documents in real-time with other users.
- Tasks and projects - Create tasks, assign them, set due dates and organize them within customizable projects.
- Instant messaging and text chat - Chat 1:1 or in groups, share files within chats.
- Video calls - Host 1:1 and group video calls using Acollab's built-in video conferencing.
- Calendars - Shared team calendars to schedule events and meetings.
- Customizable platform - Personalize Acollab with custom branding, color schemes, logos and language packs.
- Third party integrations - Integrate Acollab with other services like Dropbox, Gmail, Office 365 and more.
As it is open-source, self-hosted and highly customizable, Acollab is used by many organizations and teams as an alternative to proprietary tools like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace that want more control, security and flexibility.
