Sorry, Mike, just found your reply in this thread:

It was I that asked the Std vs. Pro question: But my question had to do
with "Edit in Data***", not
"upload of multiple files". I still have not found the correct answer. (I
have upgrade our employee on "Office Std" upgraded to "Office Pro", but this
doesn't solve the deployment issue.

Maybe Troy could verify?

Please see link to original thread:

TIA.
Tom
