Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for opening files via local application. A first application hosted by a local device presents a user interface associated with the first application, the user interface permitting a user to interact with documents on a cloud computing service, receives, via the user interface associated with the first application, a request to open one or more of the documents, and communicates the request to open the document to a second application hosted by the local device, wherein the second application is a local application different from the first application, wherein the second application has access to local information about a plurality of document processing applications installed on the local device, and wherein the request, received via the user interface associated with the first application, to open the document results in the identified document processing application downloading and opening locally a file that corresponds to the requested document on a cloud computing service.
