Hey, I have integrated Microsoft Office Web Viewer https://products.office.com/en-us/office-online/view-office-documents-online into my site, but there are file restrictions (Word/PowerPoint-> 10Mb, Excel -> 5Mb). Is there any way to increase this limit? Buying a subscription or anything?

Hello,

To help us better assist you with this concern, we would like to know more information on how did you integrate Microsoft Office Web Viewer in your website or server. Did you use SharePoint Online or an Office 365 subscription? Have you followed the instructions on this link when embedding the Excel workbook?

As you have mentioned, the limit is 10 megabytes and currently, there is no provision to increase that limit. However, we suggest that you check the following link for some options to deal with this limit: File size limits for workbooks in SharePoint Online.

We also highly recommend that you report this concern in the Excel UserVoice and Word UserVoice page. This will help our team provide a better user experience in future updates.

Regards.

    I was following these instructions and simple constructed an URL like this one:

      *https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=***{Source to a file download link from my website}

    The website is built on MEAN stack and files are stored in MongoDB database. So, no SharePoint or Office 365. It would be really nice if there were any possibility to increase this limit (even just for viewing the files). Seems like a really easy and not much work requiring way to display Microsoft office documents online.
