I need to create some website that allow user to edit Microsoft office document like Microsoft word. User can open document from this website after that user can save changed document to website like user open it from network location ("//Server-Name/path/document.docx")
Update
I try to use ftp server for containing documents. After that, I open document from web browser or windows explorer. Next, Microsoft Word opens my document but Word can't save it to original location on ftp server. Because Word always open document from temporary folder and it suggests me to save document to another location. However, if I directly open document from Word, Word will upload file to ftp server when I save document.
Do you have any idea for direct opening document by Word without using ActiveX?
Thanks,
Please take a look at
Google Documents List Data API

In our web application, we have direct link to word document in SharePoint site. So when user clicks on the hyperlink, I would like to open that in users local desktop word application. But I am unable to achieve it.
I have tried other work arounds like, when user clicks on the document in the sharepoint site, able to open in word desktop app. But it is still two clicks for user to reach the word desktop app.
Is there any way if we pass any parameters in the url saying open in local desktop app?
Thanks
Below is the code to open the desktop app directly in users machine. It will ask for confirmation though before opening the document in local.
ms-word:ofe|u|https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx/xxx/xx.docx
I have deployed a SharePoint webpart (SharePoint Framework) to Microsoft Teams. In this web part, I have a list of files that I want to open directly in Teams.
I have tried to get the link from the "Files" tab (https://teams.microsoft.com/l/file/7FFA7D9D-CBF1-4679-9C80-76446AE11ABD?tenantId=0f48c6f4-52a5-4553-b476-4ee2ee0aecca&fileType=docx&objectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fxyz.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FAZRTZ%2FShared%20Documents%2FGeneral%2FArchitecture%2FTest.docx&baseUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fxyz.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FAZRTZ&serviceName=teams&threadId=19:0d1f6f397c51421189e791a9ab436a48#thread.skype&groupId=98edc5a8-02ac-4f58-8638-ea88ac6aaa4d) and put it in the href="" of the link. It does not work, it opens the file in the browser.
I also tried to put the direct link in the href (https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/AZRTZ/Shared Documents/General/Architecture/Test.docx). It downloads a copy of the file in the browser.
I want to open the file directly into Teams, the same way the files are opened if the user goes to the "Files" tab (eg. if the user opens a .doc file, Word Online in Teams must open, if the user opens an image, a previsualisation in Teams must be opened, ...)
Succeed with a shorter version of the Deep Link syntax myself, in a message card from an incoming webhook connector, provided I used the OpenUri action syntax and not a plain markdown link:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/file/?fileType=<extension>&objectUrl=<absoluteUrl>
this was linking to Sharepoint files.
Using the Deep link I managed to open the file directly in Teams. I had to format the URL :
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/file/{file-id}
?tenantId={tenant-id}
&fileType={file-type (jpg, xlsx, docx, ...)}
&objectUrl={file-encoded-link (SharePoint link, aboslute URL)}
When you browse a list of files in Sharepoint using IE and attempt to download the file, you get the option of opening it in read-only or edit mode. When you open the document, Office knows that the file exists in Sharepoint so when you save, it is updated in Sharepoint without the user having to re-upload the file.
I'd like to have this same functionality in a custom website. I have access to Sharepoint and the file list so I'm using the same URL that Sharepoint is to download the file but there's something else happening in Sharepoint that tells the computer to not download a copy of the file but to open it in Office from the Sharepoint URL.
Does anyone know how to mimic this same behavior so I can get a file to be opened in Office from Sharepoint to it can save directly back to Sharepoint?
The special thing about this, is the link:
It's not just http://example.com/document.docx . It's ms-word:ofe|u|http://example.com/document.docx .
Just add ms-word:ofe|u| in front of the link for letting the browser know to open the link with an other Application.
There are other strings for other links.
Open a OneNote-File with:
onenote:http://example.com/document.one
And Excel-Files with
ms-excel:ofv|u|http://example.com/document.xlsx
And just for fun a TeamSpeak Link:
ts3server://example.com
Create URL for MS Office 2010 (and higher) to:
open document in view mode:
ms-excel:ofv|u|http://server.com/path/filename.xlsx
open document in edit mode:
ms-excel:ofe|u|http://server.com/path/filename.xlsx

Why won't my document that i'm checking out from SharePoint not open after the checkout?
The status of the document after the check on SharePoint shows that I checked out the document but it won't open automatically.
What's even more annoying is that I don't know where the file has been checked out to.
Is there any way to find out where the document is being checked out to and how to get it to open automatically after the checkout?
I tried it both on Chrome and IE.
Check Out in short means "Reserve the file for me so that no one else makes any changes to it. It does not mean "Open the document"
SharePoint also shows the Checkout status and to whom it is checked out. I will be able to explain more if you tell me "what exactly you see" and why you think these details are missing.
In Sharepoint the checkout prevents other user to modify the document.
You can then open the document clicking on the title.
Your client application (Word for example) will open the document directly from the Sharepoint site.
When you will save the document after changes, it will be saved on the site.
You don't need to save a local copy because the document library works like as a shared folder.
You can even connect the document library on a drive letter if you want.
Try this from a command prompt:
net use k: http://YourSite/YourDocumentLibrary
This will create a network drive that point on the library.
(it works only with WebClient service running on client machine).
The best way to "checkout and edit" is to open the document using its sharepoint url.
For example, if you have a Word file to edit, you can copy its sharepoint url and go to MS Word and paste it in Open dialog box.
You will be asked for credentials and then it shows the checkout button on top of the document.
Later, you can checkin the edited doc using checkin option in file menu.
I have a silverlight application inserted in a SharePoint page. The SilverLight application runs on a different server thatn that of SharePoint. From an event in the SilverLight, I generate a document on the server side from SQL Server. I can generate the doc on the server hosting the silverlight application and also copy it to the SharePoint server. I wanted to know if I can include this file in a sharepoint document library automatically. I was thinking if like emailing to a list allows us to copy the file into the library, can we configure the reverse, means copying the file make it part of the list.
Update:
I wanted to avoid uploading. For me uploading is sending the file from one location to the target location. But what I am saying is, if I copy the file into the folder where SharePoint keeps the file physically for the particular list, can it be added to the list automatically?
I am not sure, how well I am being able to describe the point. Please elaborate if required or I can answer your queries.
SharePoint stores the files in a database, not a folder.
WebDAV access may be what you're looking for - it's a backbone of the the Explorer View feature that allows a user to access a document library as if you were accessing a file system through a Windows Explorer window.
You can configure "incoming e-mail" properties for the document library, and assign an e-mail address.
After that, when you e-mail a document as attached to e-mail to this e-mail address, then attachment will be saved to that library by sharepoint automatically.
