  Viewing using Bitrix24

In general, files are viewed using the internal viewing tool provided by Bitrix24. Available file formats pdf, mp3,txt, php, css, html, some video files in formats mp4 and mov, as well as images of all formats are viewed only locally. When you activate the option Enable document editing using external services (Google Docs, MS Office Online etc.) in the Drive module settings, an external service is used for viewing all the rest of document formats. Select such tool from the list .

Files are converted in the Bitrix24 Cloud service. Such files are not stored at the server, but only converted. Additionally, such files are sent without any user data and information on file destination are not saved.
