Work on your Microsoft Office documents in Koofr
We integrated Koofr with Microsoft Office for the web, allowing you to create, view and edit your Microsoft Office documents directly from your favourite cloud storage account. Now you only need your Koofr account and a browser to work on your Microsoft Office documents from anywhere, at any time. This brings you a new level of flexibility and an option to collaborate with others in real-time on shared documents.

Frequently asked questions
Which policies will apply to my documents when I use Office for the web?
Why do I need to give my consent before the first use of Office?
Before the first use of Office in Koofr, you need to agree to Microsoft's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. By clicking on Agree and proceed you agree with the fact that copies of your Office files will be uploaded to Microsoft Office 365 servers and Koofr privacy policy will not apply to these copies.
Where can I revoke the permission of Microsoft?
You can revoke the Microsoft permission at any time in the Security settings of your Koofr account by clicking on the Revoke Access button.
What happens if I do not give my consent to use Office?
If you click on Decline and go back, when prompted to give your consent, you can keep using the integrated document viewer in Koofr, without the benefits of Office.
Which features does Office for the web offer?
All of the fundamental features of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint as you know them. Check the detailed Office for web features.
Can I also use Office for the web in the mobile version of the Koofr app?
No. Koofr Android app users can use Office for Android to open their Office documents from their mobile devices. With a valid Office 365 license they are also able to edit and save their documents back to Koofr. This option is not available to the iOS users.
Which file types can I view and edit with Office in Koofr?
You can edit any Word, Excel or PowerPoint document in Office Open XML (OOXML) format. This includes all documents with .docx, .xslx and .pptx extensions, and their corresponding template files. Older, binary document formats, such as .doc, .xls and .ppt, can be viewed, and, if editing is needed, converted to the new OOXML format.

Office automatically saves your documents when changes are made, making sure you never lose your edits. You do not need to worry about clicking on the Save button anymore.
