Frequently Asked Questions

What is EuroBureau?

EuroBureau is an online collaborative office suite (in fact, just word processing and spreadsheets) that serves as an alternative to megalithic platforms like Google Docs and Office and offers enhancements and features specific (but by no means limited) to self-published authors.

Do I need to be in Europe to use EuroBureau?

Absolutely not. EuroBureau is so named because it's a fork of EuroOffice, the European initiative to offer a safe and distributed alternative to US monoliths. The servers are hosted in Europe, the files are stored in Europe (several times over, to ensure the safety of your work), but writers who value privacy and security in a fully-featured office suite are all over the world.

Is EuroBureau only for self-published authors?

Not at all. EuroBureau has a number of features added to the core platform that are of particular interest to authors in general and self-published authors in particular, such as collaboration, multiple file redundancy and email backups, curated fonts, advanced page layout (including mirrored gutters and support for standard and custom POD book sizes), and an optimised, platform-ready epub exporter, but meeting the standards of authors has allowed us to raise our game for everyone.

What is EuroOffice?

EuroOffice is an open-source online collaborative document management project endorsed and regulated by the European Union. EuroBureau is highly indebted to this project for its core functionality.

Does EuroBureau have a policy on generative AI?

Yes, and it’s very simple – EuroBureau does not allow, accomodate, accept, or condone generative AI, and commits to never allowing your data to be used by anyone but you.

How can I support EuroBureau?

While EuroBureau is provided entirely for free, we do offer extra storage space as gratitude for donations. Please visit ko-fi.com/eurobureau for more information.
