Edit Microsoft Office documents from your Gmail inbox

Post by Rudi »

Gmail now lets you edit Microsoft Office documents from your inbox...
Google has today added a new feature to Gmail inboxes that allows users to edit Microsoft Office documents sent as email attachments. Click the new "edit" option on an Office file attachment and Gmail will convert the file to the relevant Google format, saving it in Google Drive to allow for continuous editing and sharing.
Regards,
Rudi

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

I still prefer to save attachments to my hard disk and edit them there...
Best wishes,
Hans

I agree. I'm pretty stuck on my trusty laptop and an installed version of Office 2013.
This might be aimed for tablets or persons that do roaming work and in that sense have some benefits.
