Edit Excel file stored in Google Drive using MS Office - Excel 2016 application

[maheshmaxi]

Hi,

I am trying to edit an excel file stored in Google Drive using MS Office Excel 2016. Even after i installed "driveforoffice.exe" plugin, i am able to browse/access the file using following 2 methods in MS Office Excel 2016, but still when i click on "Select" button, the files is opened in browser(Chrome).

Method 1:
MS Office Excel 2016 > File > Open > Google Drive > Open from Google Drive > choosing file > Click on 'Select' button

Method 2:
MS Office Excel 2016 > "Google Drive" in Ribbon Menu > Open > choosing file > Click on 'Select' button

Do I need to change any settings in MS Excel 2016? Please help me on this.

Hi, my preference is to use the Google Drive App for Windows, so drive content is shown in a folder on the hard drive and can open all files with their own proper application
