While the preview feature lets you view a file in Alfresco Share, you also have the option of viewing it in your default browser.
- Hover over a file in the document library.
- Click View in Browser.
A new browser window opens displaying the selected file. For some file types, such as Microsoft Office documents, Share launches the file in its associated program.
Note: For security reasons, only the following
file types are allowed to be viewed in the browser: .pdf,
.png, .jpeg, .gif,
.tiff, .bmp. All other file types are instead
downloaded. This is configurable.
