Open IT Online – Open Your Files Online

Open IT Online is a Firefox add-on to open your files online, without using any special service. It can open documents, images, presentations and spreadsheets online using online tools like : Google Docs, Zoho, ThinkFree, Vuzit, Picnik, Pixlr etc.

Open IT Online supports following file formats -

• Documents (*.doc, *.rtf, *.odt, *.sxw)
• Spreadsheets (*.xls, *.csv, *.ods, *.sxc)
• Presentations (*.ppt, *.pps, *.odp, *.sxi)
• Images (*.jpg, *.gif, *.png)

By using this cool add-on, you don’t need to have any offline software for opening above file formats online. After installing this add-on, whenever you try to open any supported file, Firefox will ask you to choose the way to open it. In the options, you can see Open IT Online and the services registered with it.

Hence, you can choose the service (Google Docs, Zoho etc.) and open the file with that. This add-on simply redirects the opening process to the online tools.

Some more features of this add-on are :

• No need to register for using it.
• See the file size before opening it.
• Set different defaults for each file type.
• Decide to open the file in same / different tab or window.
• Easy interface to modify your settings.

Though, there are some similar add-ons available for the same purpose, we would recommend Open IT Online as it is very easy to use and works really well.
