How to Preview Files in TERA

TERA allows you to preview many supported file types directly in your browser without downloading them first.

  2. Open TERA Drive or a Workspace containing the file.

  3. Locate the file you want to review.

Why Use File Preview?

Browser-based previewing helps you:

If a Preview Does Not Work

Check the following:

  1. The file has finished uploading.

  2. The file is not corrupted.

  3. The file format supports browser preview.

  4. Your browser is functioning correctly.

  5. Your internet connection is stable.

You can try downloading the file and opening it with compatible software.

Important

Uploading a file successfully does not guarantee that it can be previewed.

TERA may store files that require specialized software to open.
