Open file in desktop app by default
Is there a (custom) way to open office files in the respective office desktop app by default (e.g. Excel)? At the moment when clicking on the file it opens in Teams
RealTime_M365 do you mean you can not change what is the default as the OP stated, open in TEAMS app is already the default.
I would like to set the Desktop-app default instead of the user unfriendly teams-app. Is that possible?
Dirkvanmanen P.L.S solve this issue , I and my colleagues are so frustrate, that the web tools is the std opening tool for Office 365 files.
The same issue apply for links to files in i.e Planner.
To be forced to first to open the file in the web and when open in the proper app takes some time , and you get so "angry" every time you get forced to do that.
So please solve this.Me too. Seems odd this is not possible as you can actually set this in two locations in sharepoint 1. from the site level 2, from the library level.
