I wish that if a media (image, video, pdf, etc) or text based file (.txt, .js, .doc, etc) that has been uploaded to an entity was clicked on, I could preview/read it’s contents directly within the fibery interface instead of having to download the file and open it locally every time! The file being…

Currently my behaviour is that it opens in a new tab, not downloads. Wondering if these is browser specific? [ed91e16f8e1c3282c4c7ba11e0581d39] That said, it still opens each in a new tab. I would see this like google drive deals with opening files which are not gdoc. It pops it open over the rest…

[image] Chr1sG: But Fibery is not intended to be primarily used as a file storage service If you’re following the intended purpose it’s just a Product Management tool, no? :wink: I’ve thought a lot about this, especially with the AI Assistant coming out now, and entity permissions which can …

Maybe I should have written that Fibery is not designed to function as a file storage. There’s lots that goes into good file management (including indexing/searching within contents, version history, in-browser editing, etc.) and Fibery is just not technically set up to do that.

Yeah, we have no intention for using Fibery for mass file storage. But for the files we do store, it would be nice to have certain functionality you come to expect from product/project management tools like viewing media (images, videos, pdf) natively without needing to download. The specific scen…

I’m sure I could change my browser settings to try and open the file within the browser, but it doesn’t scale (I’m not going to make everyone else in my company change their browser settings) and at the end of the day still takes me away from Fibery when the whole point is to stay within Fibery.
