Hi, 

 

I have a web application where we use the file box file picker to select a file. I am looking to have the file open in Box Edit. All our users are internal to the company and have BoxEdit installed. 

 

I have looked and not been able to find any guidance. It should be possible. Basically, it is the exact same funcationality as Open in Word that the Box web application provides. Looking to do the same.

 

Thanks,

  , hello there!

   

  Just wanted to share a quick update - we just launched the GA of the Open With element with support for Google Docs, Adobe Sign and Box Edit (aka editing via desktop applications). Thought you might find this interesting. 

   

  Here are a few resources to help you get started:

  • Blog post
  • Developer Documentation
  • Box Elements Demos (includes Open With)
  • Github

   

  Please reach out to us via https://support.box.com if you have any questions / feedback / issues you run into. Thanks for reading!
