MAC: Using Local App to Edit Cloud Attachment in OneNote
For a long time, OneNote for Mac has been able to open attachments only to browse, but not edit.
February 2019, when OneNote for Mac was updated, the Cloud Attachment feature was added.
If the Cloud Attachment is an Office file (such as .docx, .xslx), you can use the Office Online Tools to edit it by clicking on the cloud Attachment link in OneNote, which will open with browser. Non-Office files, you cannot open them.
Gem Menu for Mac OneNote makes it easier to use the OneNote Cloud Attachments feature with OneDrive.app, providing the ability to open OneNote Cloud Attachments with Mac local Apps for direct editing of the Cloud Attachments.
