Question

How do I prevent any type of the file to open in the browser regardless of its storage location on my computer?

Answer 1

Hi @Vinnie Redden

Because the thread tag you added is "Excel", does "any type of the file" refer to all Excel files?

Based on my knowledge, there is currently no Excel settings that prevents the browser from opening all Excel files.

There is only a Browser View Options setting of Info, it picks what users can see when this workbook is viewed on the web.

Thanks for your understanding.
