Edit in Google Apps

Beginning with FileCloud 21.3, you may also have the option of web editing Office files in Google Apps applications. If editing in Google Apps is set up in your FileCloud system, you can edit docx, xlsx, and pptx files in the corresponding Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides application.

 In FileCloud's mobile apps, files can be viewed but not edited in Google Apps.

For these file types, the Open with Google options also appear in context menus and as editing choices in previews:
