SPO Office Direct is a free Chrome browser add-on developed by xyuakh. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The add-on allows users to bypass opening Office documents in online applications when the client application is set as the default option.

With SPO Office Direct, users can directly download or open Office files in their client applications, such as Excel, without having to go through Excel Online. This add-on is especially useful for users who prefer working with their desktop applications rather than online versions.

One of the key features of SPO Office Direct is its ability to enable the "Open Documents in Client Application by Default" functionality in SharePoint Online site collections. This ensures that when users click on Office documents within the site, they are automatically opened in the client application, avoiding the need to navigate through online applications.

SPO Office Direct is a convenient and time-saving tool for Chrome users who frequently work with Office documents and prefer using their client applications for a seamless experience.
