Document editor

We have a query regarding our requirement in one of our MVC(C#) Asp.net live projects.

  1. So, our requirement is to edit word, excel documents online, like we do in google docs.

  2. Our documents are stored on Blob Azure Storage, from where we need to fetch and edit the document and then save it on Blob as well.

  3. We are trying to use Syncfusion with local storage, which works fine and saves documents as well. But we need more than that.

  4. We need to trigger open(one of the toolbar options) for a document by default from azure(Url to blob document) and open the word editor in a popup with the document already open in pop-up modal.

  5. After that we need to edit and save the document back to blob storage.

  6. If that can be achieved using your product. It will really be helpful to us.

Please reply as soon as possible, as we are in a bit of a hurry. Will purchase the product as soon as our demands are met and we are sure of the service that your product provides.

Thanks and Regards

Currently GroupDocs.Editor for .NET has no support of any cloud storage providers like MS Azure Storage or Amazon Simple Storage Service. Perhaps any cloud storage provider (for MS Azure we’re sure 100%) allows to obtain (to download) a content of remote file to a stream, and to upload a content from a stream into the remote file on a cloud.

For example, have a look at following articles:

On the other hand, all methods in the GroupDocs.Editor for .NET public API are able to obtain streams:

  • there is several overloads of the GroupDocs.Editor.Editor class, which obtain stream
  • there is an overload of the GroupDocs.Editor.Editor.Save method, which obtain stream

Get more details in the documentation. Hence, you can start to use GroupDocs.Editor for .NET with MS Azure Storage as per above explanations.
