OpenIt is a Firefox and Internet Explorer add-on that lets you open any document or image online with various online tools. You don’t need to download the files to view them on your computer anymore. For Documents, Spreadsheet, and Presentation you can choose between Google Docs/Apps, Zoho Viewer/Writer, ThinkFree, and Vuzit. For Images you can choose between Snipshot, Picnik, Pxlr, and Bilder Editieren.
It can handle the following file types.
- Documents (*.doc, *.rtf, *.odt, *.sxw)
- Spreadsheets (*.xls, *.csv, *.ods, *.sxc)
- Presentations (*.ppt, *.pps, *.odp, *.sxi)
- Images (*.jpg, *.gif,*.png)
When you install this add-on for the first time, it will ask which online tool you want to assign to the documents and images. The selected online tools will become the default, but you can always change them by going to Options.
Save/Send Documents Directly To Your Box.net Account
In March we reviewed an awesome add-on for Firefox called Open It Online which allowed users to save/edit documents online without having to download it. Recently the developer has updated it and also included Box.net support as well. Now you don’t need to select Box.net from the list when saving/editing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, just select Save IT Online to Box.net and it will save it to your account instantly.
