Possible to open docx files in Word Online when double-clicking them in a synced desktop library?
My client is having difficulties adjusting to Office Online. We sync his SharePoint Online library using OneDrive for Business, so he has it easier to upload files they create outside of Office 365. ...
Please add this functionality. We have just committed to Microsoft 365 and have 125 Frontline licenses (F3). These users do not have access to installed Office apps, but have long been used to double-clicking a file to open it.
.docx files - opens in Wordpad!
.xlsx files - prompt to find an app in the app store.
Trying to teach 125 people to right-click and click "View Online" every time is going to be support nightmare!
It would seem with the introduction of Frontline license, Microsoft would have thought of a way to include this functionality.
The only alternative would seem to be to try to hide Windows Explorer
