Is it possible to edit an Office document stored in the cloud using the Office 365 API?


Is it possible to integrate our asp.net (vb.net) web site with Office 365 so our customers with Office 365 subscriptions can edit documents stored on our servers with the online office 365 editors?

Our site already does this with Google Docs editor and Zoho so now we want to add Office

I have tried the Office 365 starter project and the single tenant and multiple tenant projects with Visual Studio 2013. However, when I opened up my asp.net web site in visual studio 2013, the menu item Add-> Connected service is missing. But, it is present for an asp.net MVC project.


Solution

  • Yes, it is possible to provide Office Online as a way to edit documents that are stored on your server. Please check out the Office 365 Cloud Storage Partner Program http://dev.office.com/programs/officecloudstorage (specifically the section on Office Online Integration)
