Today I discovered that Dropbox Professional will generate previews of Photoshop (psd), MS Office (doc, ppt, xls), iWork (or whatever the suite is called now), DWG, and lots of other file types, within a web browser. This enables creative professionals to send files to clients (via Dropbox) and the clients can view and comment on those files right in their web browser. It would be awesome if Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher files were supported this way as well.

Going back to the subject. I'm missing the Affinity files in Dropbox. I keep all my stuff there. Is it more of a job for the Affinity team or the Dropbox?

I would guess this is functionality on the side of Dropbox. Affinity files include previews of their content. (There is a discussion that these previews are a little too small for some users but that's a different thing 🙂 )

i thiknk both companies need to contract and dropbox probably wants to have money for that functionality ... google cloud also renders excel , word , openoffice,  pdf etc. previews in the free version and i think its more likely google adapts affinty first

Hi @Ulf3000,

thanks, you seem to know some more details about how this works. I admit I have no idea on how companies go about this kind of interopability. I think Dropbox has to implement the feature by itself and most likely Serif needs to give them some information about their file format. And maybe there is some money and copyrights and contracts involved. Thanks for pointing this out.
