General
Microsoft recommends the following minimum general hardware requirements to run Outlook on the Web. These requirements therefore also apply to running the Cryptshare for OWA Add-in.
We strongly suggest exceeding these requirements, as the Outlook web app may be demanding at times. Older devices may be served the "light version" of Outlook, which does not support add-ins.
Official Microsoft recommended requirements, as of September 2023:
- Processor: 1.6 GHz or higher, or Intel-based Mac computer
- Memory: 1 GB of RAM or higher
- Resolution: 1024 × 768 minimum
- Internet connection: High-speed internet access is recommended.
Operating System
These requirements match the Microsoft recommendations. It is advised to generally use the latest operating system version available.
- Windows 7 or later
- Mac OS X 10.10 or later
- Linux: Known to work in Firefox and Chrome. Some features may not be available.
Web Browsers
| Browser | Minimum supported version |
|---|---|
| Chrome | Newest version on Windows and on other platforms |
| Firefox | Newest version and extended support version on standard desktop |
| Safari | Newest version on MacOS |
| Microsoft Edge | Newest version on Win & Mac |
For more details about setting up the Cryptshare Server environment, refer to Server Environment.
Exchange Online / Outlook Environment
In order to be able to use the Cryptshare for OWA add-in, an active Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) subscription including Exchange Online and the ability to sideload add-ins is required.
Cryptshare for OWA was created for Outlook on the Web. Most features should work with little to no restrictions in the Outlook for Windows Desktop Client.
