Get URL to edit word, excel files online

Hello guys,

 

I'm looking for an API endpoint to get an url allowing me to edit a word or excel file online. 

Example:

 - I have a file named hello.docx and i want to edit its content. 

 - I would like to request an API endpoind to get a response containing an URL allowing me to edit my file online

 

Is there a way? Thank u

    No, unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer a way to get a URL to edit Office docs online like this via the Dropbox API, e.g., using Microsoft Office Online, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
