How to edit files in a browser?

Hi - We used to be able to edit files in a browser, albeit in a limited fashion (see attached right-click menu screenshot). I can't seem to access that facility any more. Does it still exist? (I am using an Educational Licence - does that make a difference?)

Thanks for the reply - can you explain? To clarify my question: how do I edit files in the browser?

Can you explain?

Do you want to change file names? Move location?

Or do you want to open file and edit the geometry within the file (Browser version of Fusion 360)?

That one: "open file and edit the geometry within the file (Browser version of Fusion 360)"

Edit in Browser is no longer supported: The-Edit-in-Browser-option-is-no-longer-available-for-a-Fusion-360-design . It has nothing to do with license type.

Thanks Jeff, I was looking for that with no luck.

WFIW this info, coupled with the increasingly arduous licensing procedure that I have to go through regularly with students, suggests that the Fusion target audience is not one that includes me. Sayonara Fusion-san!

You think the process is arduous now?

When I was in college and using the educational license for Autodesk products, it took 7.5 hours sitting in the library with the school's "good" internet to download the installers for Inventor, AutoCAD, and 3DS Max.
