Edit Your Presentations (and Word 2007 Files) Online!

By

At Box we strive to make your content accessible anytime, anywhere. This not only refers to storing your content for easy access, but also allowing you to work on your files entirely from within the browser. That way it doesn’t matter what computer you’re on, for you are not limited by the software available on your computer. With integrated services such as Zoho and Picnik, you may edit your spreadsheets, documents, images, and other file types online, without ever having to download the file.

 

Today we have exciting news, thanks to some updates by our friends at Zoho. After a long wait (thanks for the patience), you can now work with Microsoft Word 2007 files. Moreover, you can now edit PowerPoint presentations! As you collaborate on projects with your friends and colleagues, you may share and edit Excel research files, Word documents, and as of today, work on your PowerPoint presentations without ever leaving your web brower.

Users who currently have the Zoho OpenBox service will already see these new enhancements. Just upload a Word 2007 or PowerPoint presentation, right click on the file or select the file menu, and then select edit with Zoho. Your file will then be opened in a new window for you to edit the content freely and save back to your Box account.

To learn more about the various services integrated into our platform, please visit our OpenBox Services Page.

    This is great! When will the capability be added to edit Word/PowerPoint while on an iPhone?

    What I would like to do is edit with Microsoft Excel for my spreadsheets. Is there anyway to edit a file, lock it so that others can’t edit it at the same time, then save it back to Box.net?
