Hi there,

I'm connected to my files using the webdisk WebDAV feature and whenever I try to open any MS Office document it says:

"Microsoft Office has blocked access to "https://websitename.com:2078/files/file.xlsx" because the source uses a sign-in method that may be unsecure".

Is there a solution for this one?

Thanks heaps!

Luke

  Hey there!  It looks like there are workarounds for this issue available, such as what is outlined here:

  but there isn't anything on the cPanel side of things that will help with this issue.
