Open dropbox documents in office desktop app
Hi Team,
Can I open dropbox file in office desktop app from online word page. It is working in sharepoint.
Please check below screen of sharpoint.
Please adivse.
I guess, you can open the office files in your desktop app from Dropbox web using Open menu provided you have Dropbox app installed and the file is synced to your local computer otherwise you can edit using office online only - https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/open-button
Thanks Jay,
My question is after I click Microsoft Word it will open file for me but I want "Open in Desktop App" option as red circle in my attached screen.
It should open the file in Windows Office or Local dropbox application.
Why "Open in Desktop App" option not showing on dropbox site once file open in Microsoft Word online ?
Thanks,
Mangesh K
