Hi, 

How to make my Microsoft word file that can be edited without logging in to Box account? If I created the sharing link, then I can open the link anywhere and edit the file or the person that i share the link can edit the file without logging in? 

Any  help on this?

 

Thank you

👋 Hi ​@amh, welcome to the Box Community!

 

Box requires login for editing. A shared link without login only allows viewing/downloading, not editing. To edit directly in Box (using Box Edit or Office Online integration), the user must:

  • Have a Box account
  • Be added as a collaborator with Editor permissions


You may want to ask your collaborators to create a free Box account and add them as Editors so they can edit the files you share with them.
