We’re enhancing the Media Library to make it easier for you to view files without downloading them. Now, you can preview a wider range of file types directly in your browser.
What’s New:
- PDF files: Browse, zoom, jump to pages, and select text.
- Word documents (.docx): View full formatting, including pagination, headers, and footers.
- Excel and CSV files: Open spreadsheets with familiar layouts.
- Audio files: Play formats like MP3, WAV, and more directly in your browser.
- 3D models: Interactively view with rotation and other controls.
- Text and code files: Preview with syntax highlighting for supported formats.
Why it matters:
This update saves you time by allowing you to quickly inspect files without downloading them. It’s a more efficient way to manage your documents, spreadsheets, and media files.
How it works:
Select any file in the Media Library or use the Preview option from the right-click menu. The appropriate viewer will open automatically. Note that file size limits apply for previewing:
- PDF: up to 50 MB
- Word: up to 15 MB
- Excel/CSV: up to 15 MB
- 3D models: up to 50 MB
- Text files: up to 5 MB
- Audio files: up to 100 MB
If a file is too large, you will see a message and can download it instead. Some file types may not support previewing.
