No. Everything runs on your own machine with no server behind it, no upload and no sign-in required.Will files I edit still open correctly in Microsoft Word or Excel afterward?Yes for the parts VibeOffice supports: edited content keeps its names, IDs and links, and anything it cannot edit yet (macros, embedded objects, SmartArt it lacks, video, ink, 3-D models) is written back byte for byte so it survives untouched. If a save would still drop something, the built-in Compatibility Checker warns you.
