How Do I Preview Content in My Web Browser

When sending or receiving share links, or when working in the web portal, you can quickly view dozens of file types without leaving the AXIS Cloud Sync web browser. Using AXIS Cloud Sync’s fully integrated Web Preview tool, you can access advanced viewing functionality without downloading content or navigating away from the system.

You can use the Web Preview tool to:

Preview share links in a web browser—the Web Preview tool allows you to preview content sent through share links. When a recipient clicks to open a share link, he or she will have the option to view the item on the web without needing to download the shared content.
Preview content when working in the web portal—with the Web Preview tool, you can preview your own content from the web portal without needing to download it to a local machine. This feature is particular useful in situations when you only want to store and manage Team Share content in the web portal, rather than sync it down to a registered agent.

In these ways, the Web Preview tool delivers significant value, as it reduces storage and bandwidth requirements, and enhances collaboration options between internal and external colleagues.

Coming Soon: Future releases of the Web Preview tool will include watermarking, redactions, annotations, and e-sign.
