Using attachments without downloading them locally, is it possible?

Greetings,
in my line of work I receive a large number of e-mail attachments on daily basis. To mitigate possible issues such as malwares, file deletion, storage overcrowding,etc.I am wondering is there a way to use/edit attachments without downloading them locally. Is there a virtual drive/cloud/online office option that can run videos,edit files, etc that you would recommed ?
I am looking for something open source,secure and with privacy in mind as I work in journalism.

Nextcloud?!
It offers storage, an online office suite, images and PDF viewer - and it integrates with certain email providers (I think it was proton mail).

Have used the service and to be honest,It’s just not for me.

Just a general note that this is not really a Fedora specific query, so it’s sort of off-topic. You’re more likely to get better information on this sort of thing on other general journalism or security focused forums:

Apologize, I thought it would benefit the Fedora community to address the issue.I will close the topic.

No worries. It’s not really something the Fedora community can address, unfortunately. We take software that is already out there and package it up in a nice way to create the Fedora Linux OS. We don’t develop all the software that is in the repos—we almost don’t develop any of it, in fact. We don’t develop e-mail related software at all for example, so we can’t really do much about such specific issues.
