Files App file types

Hi,

I see from the description that the Files App supports all file types. Can I just double check that I would be able to create a list and slideshow for both TIFFs and PDFs please?

Many thanks

Stevie

Yes, Files app will by default display ALL file types in the gallery view, including TIFF and PDF. However, you cannot preview these two formats directly in the browser, because they are not supported by browsers. When you click a TIFF or PDF file in the gallery, it will attempt to open in a new browser window ... If you have a PDF plugin installed, the PDF might display in your browser, else it will download. TIFF file will download, because it's not an image format supported by browsers.

Ah right, yes that makes sense and was what I feared. Many thanks for your prompt response.

Kind regards
