Office Online in Storegate
Information on how to work in Office Online from your Storegate account.
Open and edit Office files using web
There are two ways to open and edit Office files via the Storegate web. Either in the Office application that you have installed locally on your computer or via Office Online Web Apps. To open, right click on the file and choose Edit in office web or Desktop app. Open and edit in Office applications locally on your computer (corporate and association accounts only) Once you are logged in via the web interface, tap on the desired Office file and then select "Open in desktop app". This will open the file in the Office application locally on your computer and enable editing to make changes to the file. When you then save, it is done directly to the storage area of your Storegate account. Documents that are opened are valid for 8 hours. After that, you can no longer edit the file without reopening the file via the web interface. All data you work with is processed locally on your computer and saved directly to Storegate, thus no data is exposed to foreign legislation. To open files locally via the web interface, you need to have the Office package installed on your computer. Open and edit in Office Online Web Apps Office Online are web-based versions of Microsoft Office applications, such as Word and Excel. They work in the same way as on your computer, except that they are not installed but used directly in a web browser. The menus are almost identical but there is no "save" button as documents are automatically saved in Office Online Web Apps. It works the same way as if you were to open the file in Office 365 online, with the difference that the storage of the file is done in our Swedish cloud instead of at Microsoft. To edit an existing document, select "Open in browser". This will open a new tab with the document and you can enable editing. You can also create a new document via the web by clicking on the blue plus sign and selecting the type of document you want to create. For business accounts, an Office 365 login is required in order to edit files online. For private accounts, a Microsoft 365 license is not required. Under your account settings, "Enable Microsoft Office Online" must be checked.
Turn off the Microsoft Office Online Web Apps feature
If you don't want to use Microsoft Office Online Web Apps on your Storegate account, you can turn off that feature in the account settings. To edit files via the web interface, you can instead choose to use the Office application you have installed locally on your computer (business accounts only). To turn off Microsoft Office Online Web Apps, do the following: 1. Log in to your account online 2. Press the icon in the top right corner and select "Account settings" 3. Under the "Microsoft Office Online, Enable Microsoft Office Online" heading, uncheck the box to turn off the Office Online feature on your account.
Data management and privacy in Microsoft Office Online Web Apps
When you open an Office document in Office Online Web Apps via the web interface, you are redirected to Microsoft. It works in the same way as when using Office 365 online with the difference that the file is stored in our Swedish cloud instead of at Microsoft. While you have the document open and when it is saved, the data is processed by Microsoft. We have made the Office Online feature optional for those who do not want the data to be handled by Microsoft when editing Office Files. You can turn off the Office Online feature in your account settings.
