Hi HariMohan-7655,
- Our goal with Office Add-ins is to write a model that will work across devices and browsers as such direct access to the file system is not available. Consider using the Microsoft Graph to access the users OneDrive as a cloud-friendly way of potentially achieving similar results.
- I'm not sure what you mean by Web API in this case. Can you elaborate?
- A lot of cookie-based authentication works because our platform is based on browser IFrames and native WebView controls. There are some known limitations that affect 3rd party cookies that you may need to be aware of - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/develop/itp-and-third-party-cookies
