Adding Microsoft Office Online to Connected Apps
How do I add Microsoft Office Online to my connected apps to dropbox so that I can open dropbox files with Microsoft Office Online? Do I need a business account do access this feature?
Make sure that the documents you're trying to open in Word online are in .docx format. The older .doc format is not supported by Microsoft's Online apps. The same holds true for Excel and PowerPoint.
Hello Gregoc,
Thank you for replying! The problem is that no Microsoft Office Online apps appear as options when I click "Open with" even when I am logged into my Dropbox account and Office 365 Account. My options are:
Send for signature
Adobe Sign
DocuSign
Hello Sign
Send Fax
HelloFax
Download
Download
Nowhere does it say
Edit
Microsoft Word Online (or other app)
What happens when you click âMicrosoft Word Onlineâ under Edit?
When I click "Open with" for a Word doc in dropbox, there is no "Edit" section and no âMicrosoft Word Onlineâ option.
However, I just discovered that I can go to an Excel file in dropbox and "Open with" "Microsoft Excel Online"!
- I guess I misunderstood the list you sent, that is why I asked my previous question.
Now that Excel is working, do you have that option with Word?No, that's the strange thing. I don't have that option with Word even now that Excel is working.
