Note
- You can’t preview files larger than 25 MB, unknown file types, password-protected files, and copy-protected PDFs. For files that you can’t preview, the Preview option isn’t available on feeds or list views, and files appear as generic file type icons in the feed. Some Microsoft Office 2007 features don’t display correctly in previews. If a file can be previewed, but a preview doesn’t exist, contact your Salesforce admin to request to regenerate the preview.
- Files without a file extension or with an unrecognized file extension show “unknown” in the Type column.
