To keep all relevant documentation in one place, CoLab also enables users to upload several file formats that are not viewable in CoLab to the workspace. These files will appear in the workspace Drive and clicking on the file will prompt users to download the file in the Viewer. Clicking ‘Download’ in the Viewer will download the file to your personal computer. The additional supported file formats include:

  • tiff
  • docx
  • xlsx
  • pptx
  • txt
  • csv

The workspace settings must allow downloading for users to receive the download prompt after clicking on the file. If you receive the message displayed below after clicking on the file, the workspace does not allow downloading. Please contact a company Admin to change the workspace settings to allow downloading.
