Audio and video files

If you have read permissions, you can view pictures and videos directly in idgard without having to download them.
Info
Supported audio/video formats: The following audio files can be played in the idgard Web App: .mp3, .m4a (AAC), .flac, .wav. The idgard Web App generally supports previews for video files such as .mp4, .ogg, .webm, .mov, and .quicktime. 
However, compatibility varies across different browsers and operating systems. For instance, .mov videos are only supported by Firefox and Safari, not by Chrome or Edge. Some .mp4 videos may not play in Chrome, Edge, or Safari but will work in Firefox. If a video cannot be viewed, consider switching browsers or download the video via the "Download" option in the 3-dot menu next to the object, and then watch the downloaded file.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Select the box in which the desired file is stored. If necessary, navigate to the desired folder.
  2. Select the file name in the file list of the box.
    The file will open directly in the browser.
