Get URL to edit word, excel files online
Hello guys,
I'm looking for an API endpoint to get an url allowing me to edit a word or excel file online.
Example:
- I have a file named hello.docx and i want to edit its content.
- I would like to request an API endpoind to get a response containing an URL allowing me to edit my file online
Is there a way? Thank u
No, unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer a way to get a URL to edit Office docs online like this via the Dropbox API, e.g., using Microsoft Office Online, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
