Further notes on Cloud Storage Product interoperability and configuration guidelines:

      FESF Licensees are responsible for determining the ultimate policy and configurations that result in the desired level of interoperability with their specific products and Cloud Storage Products and for comprehensive testing of the interoperability of their products. The sample policies provided above are examples, are not intended to be definitive, and are only intended to provide basic illustrative guidance.

      To support L3 Interop in OneDrive with Microsoft Office products, File Collaboration must be disabled for Microsoft Office.  The way to disable File Collaboration is different depending on the version of OneDrive being used.  One way that Microsoft has documented to do this, for Windows 11, is to use the “EnableAllOsciClients” Group Policy.

      Storing FESF encrypted documents in OneDrive will make it impossible for the online (web browser based) versions of Microsoft Office to successfully access such documents.
