Updated November 17, 2023: We have updated the content below with additional information.
In the same way that you can open a Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file in their respective desktop apps, you can now open any file in its desktop app, edit it, and the changes will sync to OneDrive. From OneDrive’s My Files or Sharepoint’s Documents, users can now select Open In App to open a file in its native app.
Note: this feature is powered by OneDrive’s Sync Client – it requires having it installed on the user’s machine. In case it’s not running it will start it.
