Files Supported by Files.com Editor

The details of the sizes and types of files that can be edited using the Files.com Editor. In order to edit files using the Files.com Editor, a site administrator must set your site's Online Editor Integration setting to Files.com editor.

Supported File Formats

The Files.com editor supports many of the popular Office file types without requiring any additional conversion.

File Formats Requiring Conversion

The Files.com Editor also supports legacy file formats by automatically converting them to modern files. A copy of the file will be made in the new format. For example, if you open the file "letter.doc" in the Files.com Editor, a converted copy named "letter.docx" will be created and then opened within the Files.com Editor.

Previewing With The Files.com Editor

Any of the document types that can be edited without conversion will also be previewed using the Files.com Editor, provided that a site administrator has set your site's Online Editor Integration setting to Files.com editor.

Files that require conversion before they can be edited with the Files.com Editor will also require conversion before they can be previewed with the Files.com Editor.

A site administrator can configure any of these file types, such as CSV and RTF, to be treated as native text extensions with the site's Text-only File Extensions for Preview setting. Doing this will allow the designated file types to be previewed without first converting them.

Maximum Supported File Sizes

While the Files.com platform can handle file sizes up to 5TB, the Files.com editor has smaller limits for the size of file that can be opened.

For document files and spreadsheet file types, the maximum file size is 950MB. Presentation files are limited to 150MB.

These limits apply to all the extensions that do not require conversion, such as DOCX, as well as those requiring conversion, such as CSV or EPUB.

Files that exceed the maximum size for editing cannot be previewed.
