When users preview supported file types directly in the User Portal through the web browser, they can see part of the file without having to install the application that created it.
This type of preview commonly uses the Quick JS Preview feature which enables previewing of DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and PDF files when DocConverter is enabled. See LibreOffice Windows Instructions.
-
When a user selects a file in the User Portal, a Preview button becomes available.
-
When the user clicks the Preview button, a separate window opens showing an image of the file.
Beginning in FileCloud 22.1, many of the previews can be edited with the same Web edit/Office Online and Edit in Desktop applications that are available for editing the file from the file listing.
To include watermarks on previewed documents, see Enabling Watermarks On Previews
PDF file preview will work even if Document Preview is not installed. Document Preview is required to preview files like PSD and AI.
Previewing AutoCAD files is available in FileCloud 22.1 and later, when you configure AutoDesk Viewer integration with FileCloud.
Note: Administrators can also show a sample of the content in a file through a thumbnail image shown beside the file where it is listed in the user portal using FileCloud Document Converter
