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.
I have not, but was wondering the same thing. I'll try that next, thanks!
