Problem
Consider the following scenario:
In your OneDrive for work or school site that uses the new OneDrive view, you configure one or both of the following settings:
-
In Library Settings, Advanced Settings, you set Opening Documents in the Browser to Open in the client application.
-
In Site Settings, Site Collection Features, you start the Open Documents in Client Applicationsby Default feature.
In this scenario, when you browse to the OneDrive Library and then you click to open a document, the document opens in Office Online and not in the client application.
Solution/Workaround
To work around this issue, click the ellipsis (…) for the document that you want to open, and then click the option to open in the client application. For example, click Open in Word.
More information
This is expected behavior for the OneDrive page. By default, the documents always open in Office Online even though the settings are present.
