Skydrive and microsoft web apps

lulrich

I like using Excel, Word, Powerpoint Web apps (Microsoft Excel Web App, etc.) that are native to skydrive. I cannot see how to use them with the *.bc files though. Do any of you know how this can be done or have a suitable workaround?

I mainly want this so I can use that interface on an iPad (that may be a secondary issue).

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm sorry, but it is currently not possible to use any web application (e.g. MS Excel Web App, Google Docs, etc.) to open or edit encrypted documents. Main reason is that those web applications need access to the plaintext - which is not possible for encrypted files and also not wanted (why encrypt then?).

So if you want to use web applications like MS Excel Web App, using client-side encryption is currently not possible (not just with Boxcryptor but with any client-side encryption software).

Best regards,
Robert

Thank you. That was a bit as I feared. For now I will just download, edit and upload.
