Supports Office Co-Authoring And AutoSave

Zee Drive offers two options for opening Microsoft Office documents; either in exclusive editing mode which is similar to the behaviour when working from a traditional on-premises file server, or, opening the document for co-authoring. When opened for co-authoring, advanced Office features such as collaborative editing and AutoSave are available.

When an Office document is opened for co-authoring, the AutoSave slider is set to the On position

The default behaviour when opening an Office document from Windows File Explorer (either exclusive or for co-authoring) can be changed by the Zee Drive subscription administrator.

Users can also open Office documents for co-authoring via the File Explorer context menu:
