Editing your documents in Box
It recently came to our attention that Zoho had opened up their APIs to help fulfill other websites’ document editing needs (credit to OmniDrive). So we quickly whipped up an update to the site that will now allow you to edit your Microsoft Word documents that are stored in your Box. There is no need to download the file you want to view or modify - just select “Edit Document” in the right-click option menu for your .doc file and Zoho will launch a new tab or window with your file! Then, make any edits you want and click “Save” in the upper left hand corner of the Zoho window. This will automatically save your updated file back to your Box. Please send us your feedback if you have any thoughts or problems.

It’s no secret that we’ve wanted to include document editing within Box for a while now. We’ve considered a few different routes in the past year, but Zoho seems like a very strong solution at the moment. We’re also looking to add an Ajax13 editing support option in near future!

Why’d you decide to use Zoho instead of Google Docs & Spreadsheets?
