Preview and Processing

Preview and processing turn original files into browser-viewable, openable, or streamable results. This area does not change file ownership, but it depends on storage reads, background tasks, external tools, and WOPI services.

Storage policy editorStorage-native processing switches such as Tencent COS
  • WOPI does not open: confirm public site URL, WOPI callback reachability, and enabled file extensions.
  • Thumbnails or image previews do not generate: check MIME support, failed background tasks, processor availability, and whether the source file exceeds the size limit.
  • Archive preview fails: check global switch, file size, supported format, and archive path safety.
  • Share-page media playback stops: check share streaming session TTL and reverse proxy streaming behavior.
