Box is introducing Box for Office Online, which allows Word, PowerPoint and Excel files to be created and managed from any device using just a web browser. The newly integrated features will be enabled for all UNL users on Sunday, July 12. Files can be created, edited and shared securely without opening any installed applications.
Features include:
• Seamless workflows between Box and Office Online: Users can work on files in Office Online from Box through a simple 'open with' button, and all edited files are automatically saved back to Box with no action required.
• Full editing capabilities: All of the editing features that have made Office Online the standard for creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations in the cloud, will be fully functional from the Box platform and available with the same familiar interface.
• Easier collaboration with 'share': Soon, users will be able to share content in Office Online in the same easy way it's done in Box - by simply clicking the 'share' button, users are prompted with the granular collaboration controls they expect from Box.
