### Describe the Bug
I have a .xls file on a cloud service (Mega), opened on an …Android device using Play Store’s latest version of Collabora. The file has been checked to make sure its a local offline copy.
I can open it, but the edit button launches a choice of a) cancelling the edit, or b) make a copy and edit that.
This is a nightmare for version management and makes the whole app somewhat pointless.
This is a serious flaw in the app.
### Steps to Reproduce
1. open document from cloud storage folder (local copy - i.e. enable 'available while offline' in Mega preferences)
2. click edit button
3. be frustrated
### Expected Behavior
Edit should be enabled, probably as default.
If required, make 'read only' status enabled as an 'opt-in' option in preferences/config/whatever.
### Actual Behavior
I can open cloud-based document (even its local copy), but the edit button launches a choice of a) cancelling the edit, or b) make a copy and edit that.
