What problem could Box solve for you?

← Help shape the future of Box

Add Ability to 'Open with Office Online' via Box Drive

Users are not currently able to edit/open files to Office Online (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Online) from Box Sync / Box Drive

The key use case of this is to allow users to enter into co-authoring mode when starting in Box for Desktop.

REQUEST: Add an 'open in Office Online' option in the right-click menu for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files when in the Box for Desktop file system.

    Seems an obvious requirement to me. How else can a shared file in Box be edited??

    OK, so this feature is there now. So why aren't these posts being updated/removed.
