Edit docx/xlsx/pptx file online(in browser) without storing file in cloud and save changes back to server

Can you guys please help me in finding out how to edit microsoft documents online (in browser) without importing it to a cloudstroage and then saving back the changes to server.

Things to be noted:

  1. I should be able to implement this in ASP.NET web forms.
  2. No document should be stored over cloud.

Is webdav a better option compared to WOPI ?

if you want to use the browser edit experience that is in office online, you need to use Office Online Server installed on premise and the WOPI iframe that provides the office application.

More info can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeonlineserver/office-online-server

If you do not wish to use sharepoint you need to provide another server to serve the files to the office online iframe.

One of the solutions is WOPI server that provides files for the office online server iframe locally from your infrastructure - there are many avaliable a good starting point is:
