When I click on a link to a html file I've uploaded to Sharepoint 2013 ONLINE, it forces me to download it rather than opening it directly in the browser. I understand this is because SharePoint Online is adding the header X-Download-Options:noopen and text/html isn't in the MIME types.
So, I can download the html, and open it from my Downloads folder. However it's, understandably not downloaded the images, css file etc referred to in the page, making it useless.
There's loads on google about Sharepoint and mime types (mainly relating to pdfs), but very little on Sharepoint 2013 ONLINE. I have no way of administering the Site Collection of 'the farm'.
I know this question has been asked before. But surely there's an answer?
One 'accepted' answer on here from an MVP is
"Sorry, I missed that this was SharePoint online. You can't ... at this point in SharePoint Online. ... requires a change to the whole web app and since SO is tenanted you don't have exclusive access to make that change. ... requires running powershell or code on the server. Again you don't have access to do that. there is no way to make change this behavior currently in sharePoint Online."
Some may just 'accept' that, but really? Sharepoint is a great collaborative tool and document management system. Now it's in 'the cloud' that should make it better. But if I can't view stored html files in a browser without downloading them first, it's just not viable for my organisation.
I'd really appreciate a workaround to this one.
Thanks
