Dropbox has announced that it has redesigned the preview experience section on its website.

This will mean that users will now be able to preview documents, spreadsheets and other documents and files in full-screen mode within the web browser.

Additional features will allow users to use the new toolbar to zoom in, flip between pages and also to print straight from the preview.

Dropbox states on its site: "This update is part of our effort to help save you time, getting you to the files you need quickly and efficiently."

"But it’s also going to make collaboration even easier, specifically when you send or receive files through shared links — if you only need to quickly read something through or even present it, you can skip downloading entirely."

The preview will be the same regardless of which operating system or web browser is being used.
