How to default opening files with processing apps (instead of unworkable ''preview'' view)
Everytime ctrl+click to open a file - it opens in this preview version.
I would like files to default to opening with Microsoft Excel or Word, so I can get going!
Otherwise, it's clicks on the three dots then > Open with > Excel.
š®āšØ if you are doing this thousands of times a day with files.....it's a long winded process!
Thank you!

Happy New Year to you as well, Jo!
Are you able to see this option, if you scroll down this page more? There should be a section called "Default editing apps", where you can change this setting. If not, please send me one more screenshot of what you see.
In this case, Iād also like you to test this from another browser, and also let me know what's the plan you're currently on (as shown here).
Oh thank you Nancy! I appreciate you jumping in!
Well, I was wondering about Apps. But when I follow your link, I can't see this option.
Is it a specific App which facilitates this option, do you think?Thank you kindly!
Warmest new year wishes
