SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR END-TO-END EXPOSURE OF EXPORTED REPRESENTATIONS OF NATIVE DATA TYPES TO THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for exporting a file to an application. A processor receives a request from a user for access to a file stored on a web-based storage system. The request includes a designation of an application to open the file, and the file is associated with a native format. The processor determines that the application is not configured to import the file in the native format and determines whether the file can be converted to an importable format that can be imported by the application. The processor converts the file from the native format to the importable format and exports the converted file in the importable format to the application, which opens the converted file.
