When you choose a .doc file, it gets uploaded to a server running docToDocs-server, a server that wraps around LibreOffice in order to convert it to a .docx file.
If you choose a .docx file (which essentially is a zip archive with a fancy extension), it gets unzipped on your machine and an XML tag that looks like this gets deleted from word/settings.xml
: <w:documentProtection />
. The files then get rezipped again and your browser saves the zip archive as a .docx file.
