Editing Office documents online in netfiles with OnlyOffice

This feature is not available in netfiles Data Vault.

You can edit Office documents directly in netfiles – either with your locally installed Microsoft Office software, or online in your web browser with our integrated OnlyOffice application. This feature must be activated by a data room administrator. You can find instructions for administrators in this article. You must also have the access right “View, upload, download, delete and edit” (pen icon) on the corresponding documents.

Online editing in your web browser with OnlyOffice

OnlyOffice allows you to edit Office documents directly in your web browser without locally installed software and is hosted by netfiles. Your data therefore remains on our servers and you do not need to install any applications on your computer.

You can activate the browser-based editing of Office documents with OnlyOffice in your user settings (by clicking on your “username” in the top right corner), via the “Options” section. Select the option “Edit Files in Browser” here.

If you select an Office document in netfiles and click on “Edit” in the right-hand function bar, the file will open in OnlyOffice and you can edit the document directly – using the full functionality you are familiar with from Microsoft Office.

All changes are saved continuously and immediately.
