Hello Friends,

How can I open .accdb files directly in SharePoint online? Currently, I have to download the file and update it and upload it back. Can I open it directly in any kind of access web app online like word, powerpoint files directly opening in browser?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
CS

    Hi @Chirag Shukla , thank you for posting in the Q&A forum.

    Per my understanding, it's currently not supported to modify .accdb file directly in SPO, the file formats supported for previewing in SharePoint Online do not include Access file types.

    Please refer to this post for more information:
    Not able to open Access Database Files in SharePoint Online

    As the post mentioned, the current solution is to apply modifications on the desktop.

    In fact, there are many users who have similar requirement, so I would suggest you go to SharePoint UserVoice to make your suggestions to the official to improve the user experience.

    Reference:
    File types supported for previewing files in OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams

    =========================================

    Thanks for your understanding and support. :)

    Have a nice day!
