"Open Office files in the browser" option doesn't work.

Question

I was informed that if Content-Disposition: attachment is specified, it will not open.

I tried fetching it in the browser and generating a blob link, but that didn't work either.

The website is authenticated, so it won't open if I pass it to the following URL: https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=

Is there a way to open it on the browser side?

Hi @enami,

AFAIK, Office Viewer on Microsoft Edge is the only OFFICIAL solution to allow users to view Office files in the browser, if your resources are stored on your organization's website. Since it requires authentication, then Office Viewer is not an option for you which requires files to be "public".

Of course, there're still 3rd-party solutions which may meet your needs. You can take a look at them.
