Set Office Apps as default for Opening documents.

There are significant differences between Microsoft Word 365 and Word on the web.  It would be great to allow us DropBox for business clients to not only select Word as the default Application to open docx. or doc documents (same with Excel and Powerpoint) but be able to choose to have it the automatically do that rather than have to go to "Open in" and pick each time.   Thanks.

    Thanks for posting on the forum, George Golbov!

     

    Can you send me a screenshot of the option you select each time after clicking on the “Open in” button? 

     

    I’d like to have a visual and make sure your idea is logged properly.

    Hi Nancy,

     

    No I didn't.  I would sure appreciate seeing it, as this is a perplexing issue for us.  Thanks.

    Hey George Golbov, are you not seeing the previous response from Nancy where she asked you for a screenshot of the option you select each time after clicking on the “Open in” button?
