The spreadsheet opens and they make their changes. How can I make it so they can edit the document and save it back to SharePoint? Think I might have answered this myself. This is the way Chrome handles file downloads. Google decided that rather than allowing applications to automatically open files downloaded through Chrome, the files must be downloaded to your local machine.
There is, unfortunately, no workaround for this. If you want to automatically open files from Sharepoint to be worked in and saved back up to SP within the browser, you'll need to use a different browser like IE or Firefox. However, if you simply want the file to download and automatically open the application, see the answer by Tekla.
This will cause Chrome to pass the download over to the associated application. Set the OpenInClient feature for a document library or site collection as mentioned here. OpenInClient feature doesn't do anything for you if you use Chrome. The document is still downloaded when you try to open it. Instead of clicking to open, click on the little arrow to the right and select "Always open files of this type".
Mar 12, -. Aug 15, -. Jim Mooney. Not in the Download settings anymore. I am forced to go through their crappy player Every Time, when I want to dl a bunch of mp3s. Screw Chrome. I'm going back to Firefox. I'm tired of fighting a "option" they haven't fixed in years. Aug 17, -. Billy Schlotter. You are right Jim, it is not in the download section anymore. We will update this post to reflect that.
You can know just right click on the downloaded item and either uncheck or check 'Always open files of this type. Oct 13, -. A download link will start an automatic download regardless of the browser.
Our site does not start a download till the download button is clicked. The best solution is to know what you're clicking on and making sure you have an anti-virus installed that will scan each downloaded file. Oct 15, -. Nov 16, -. That doesn't work because I can't download the file. It opens every time. Nov 17, -. What opens? If you are unable to download the file nothing should open. Nov 21, -. Mar 29, -. Google decided that rather than allowing applications to automatically open files downloaded through Chrome, the files must be downloaded to your local machine.
Download excel instead of open from server. Hot Network Questions. Chrome is downloading every. It used to open up the game, now it just downloads it. This does not prevent downloading, it just automatically opens the downloaded file. On Windows, this opens the file in Notepad. Would like to know how to read "any. I agree with Larry. This does not prevent downloading and so does not answer the question.
Guest's answer below does. Great question. It can be achieved via an extension: For Chrome, load undisposition If the file loading is ASCII then colour coding may be desirable, that can be done via the Syntaxtic extension btw, for Firefox load the InlineDisposition add-on. This is the most "correct" answer, as it's likely often caused by content-disposition: attachment.
Wow, Undisposition is really great! Looking for this for years, you're my savior! For "undisposition" This is perfect, exactly what I needed for those pages forcing links to be downloaded instead of viewed in a new tab!
Works perfectly Using this in Edge btw just like I expected! Not the best solution, but it's an effective "patch" for now. Ricky Ricky 91 1 1 silver badge 1 1 bronze badge. No browser can open files without saving; that's basic computing. It's just that some browsers delete it for you once you've used it.
