Open a file or folder
To open a file or folder, use one of the following methods:
–Click on the name of the object.
–Select Open from the context menu.
Available options for opening documents in internal formats XODT, XODS, XODP:
–Open with editor: The document opens in the browser and will be available for editing (if you have the permission to edit and higher), viewing (if you have the permission to view) or commenting (if you have the permission to comment) in the editor.
–Open with desktop editor: The document opens in MyOffice desktop editor.
Documents in internal formats are opened in the editor in viewing mode by default (this feature is enabled by the administrator, it can be disabled in the profile settings). If this feature is disabled, documents open immediately in editing or commenting mode.
To open a document for editing, in preview mode, click Open with editor or select Open with editor from the context menu.
Documents in formats other than MyOffice's internal formats, as well as DOCX, XLSX, ODT, ODS, PPTX, ODP, and TXT formats, are opened in preview mode.
To edit a document, click Edit a copy. Automatic conversion to an internal format will take place and the document will open in the browser. The converted copy is created in the folder with the original file if you have the permission to edit the original document or higher. If you have the permission to view or comment, go to the My files section.
When you first open a document uploaded to the cloud in an external format (DOCX, XLSX, ODT, ODS, PPTX, ODP, TXT), a new version of the document is automatically created, which saves the contents of the original file. In case of incorrect display of objects or distortion of the formatting of the document in MyOffice editors, it is possible to download its original version.
When opening a document in TSV, TAB, SCSV, CSV format, an additional dialog box will be displayed on the screen:
1.Specify the required parameters by selecting the encoding type and the delimiter for line separation from the drop-down lists.
2.Select the appropriate check boxes to configure the column separator.
3.Click OK.
The document will be converted to an internal format, taking into account the specified parameters, and opened for editing in a new browser tab.
The object opened by the user in the browser remains open even when there is no network. After the connection is restored:
–The folder that was opened before the problems occurred will open.
If the location of the file or folder has not changed and the access permissions to them have been saved.
–A dialog box about the unavailability of the object will be displayed on the screen.
If the object (file or folder) that you were working with has been deleted or is no longer available for some reason.
To continue working:
–Owner: Click Open in Trash to go to the object in the Trash section, or Close to go to the My files section. If the folder or file has been permanently deleted from the Trash, you will be redirected to the My files section.
–User with revoked rights: Click Close to go to section My files.
Documents in internal formats can be opened from storage in MyOffice desktop editors if this feature has been enabled by the administrator in the settings.
