Feature description

Hi.
When you click on the tray icon and open the client UI, you see a list of changed files. Also you can search files from there.
When you click on a file, it opens in a web browser.
It would be great if there was an option to edit a file locally. An option to do it by default would be great too.

Note: this only happens for activities received from the server. If a file is modified while the client is opened and this is logged by the client locally, the local file will open.

I think this is a worthwhile enhancement to implement as from a UX perspective it can be difficult to tell which activities will open the local file and which will open the website

The same thing relates to opening files from search results. The only option is to click on a file which opens it in a web browser.
IMO open locally should be the default option.
The argument is:

1. When you use the app that is installed locally and makes files available locally, you expect them to be opened locally.
2. If the user would want to open a file in a web browser, the logical option would be to search it in the web UI.

Another option could be not to open, but highlight a file (in Explorer).
