Dropbox announced today that when you now preview a document using a web browser it’s going to load faster, look even better and offer more functionality. The biggest change that Dropbox has made is that the document toolbar is now at the bottom of the preview. This allows the toolbar to adapt to the type of file being previewed, be it a document, spreadsheet, presentation or PDF, on any major web browser.
This will ensure that users are always provided with the right type of options when they preview a document on the web. Options include zooming in, switching to full-screen mode, flipping between pages and even printing straight from the preview.
The new toolbar will appear when you hover over the bottom of the screen. It’s there without getting in the way, and blocking content that you’re trying to preview.
Dropbox says that this change is part of its efforts to save you more time, get you to the files that you need swiftly and efficiently.
Collaboration will also go easier particularly when you send or receive files through shared links because if you just need to skim through the document, or even present it, you don’t necessarily have to download it.
According to Dropbox the new web preview experience will be available to all users in the next few days.
