Word files (.doc, .docx)
Excel files (.xls, .xlsx)

Version history:
0.6: Visio files support added.
0.7: Bug with loss of configuration upon browser restart is fixed.
0.8: Removed unneeded permission and got rid of underscore.js

Daniel Jørgensen (ID: 000000064fdd33a7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/19/2018 Very easy to use. Opens up any sharepont document without having to save it locally first. Also nice that it can be configured to not take up any space in the extensions bar.
