Deploy Outlook/Word/Excel Addins with custom internal website

I have an outlook addin that I currently deploy by telling the users to browse with windows explorer to a specific file on a share.

I would like to change that such that I would tell the users to browse to a specific internal website using edge/chrome. Then click on a link to install the addin.

I want to change from file system to browser based so I can deploy it much like any other website we have. I have add good instructions on the webpage with the link and any number of other advantages.

The file system supports automatic updating as we update the addin and I would want the browser based install to support the same thing.

The best what you can do is to publish a manifest URL so users could add it instead if file path on the shared place (of course, if the add-in is not published in the AppStore). You can find all possible ways of deploying Office web add-ins described in the Deploy and publish Office Add-ins article.
