However, OneDrive does accept ODT documents and they can be viewed on-line via Microsoft Office Web Apps (now called Office Online). There is online editing although it might require being a Microsoft Office user. I will have to check that. Also, it might be that a Linux-operating browser isn't compatible with what the Web Apps require. I have attached two PNG that show an ODT being opened in Word Online from OneDrive. If they come through, you can see what the Microsoft Office Web apps look like. The browser in one case is Internet Explorer 11. In the second case, I used Chrome (and notice the offer of an Office Online Extension for Chrome). In both cases the document is a trivial .odt that I created just to be able to check to check on the improvement of Office Online support for ODF over time. PS: Since I have a Microsoft Lumia (Windows 10) smartphone, I just used the OneDrive application there to access the same file. In this case, the file requests permission to use an on-line conversion service and then opens the result as read-only and editing is only available if I allow the document to be saved in an Office format. An unfortunate aspect of this mobile OneDrive client is that it does not show filename extensions and I don't see any way to change that. There is a thumbnail icon, but it is for Word, so a .docx of the same name looks like a second copy of the same file. I have no idea how the OneDrive application manages and the Office mobile applications work together on Android and iOS. > > Suppose AOO had its own OneDrive client plugin?
