I'm LOVING that we can now upload files into workflowy. I'm also enjoying that we can see a preview of the picture in the image file uploads.

Are there plans to make it possible to read our uploaded text-based files (PDFs, .DOC, .TXT, etc), inside workflowy without having to download them? It would be great to have a preview option to review their content.

Similarly what about uploading audio/video files (MP3, AVI, MOV, etc) and being able to play them back inside Workflowy?

  I also appreciate the image previews and would love to see this extended to PDF previews (show PDF title or filename along with first page preview). This would be especially helpful for storing things like PDF manuals and PDF research articles in Workflowy.

  Evernote's implementation is decent -- a partial screenshot example:

  

   

  Thank you for considering this.

  Adding my vote to this. I just video captured something for reference later, uploaded it to Workflowy, and would love to be able to see it in-line without having to download.

  Hi Cameron, we would love to do this in due course... but just an idea for now might be to upload your video to YouTube and after activating the YouTube embed feature, popping a YouTube link into WorkFlowy will show it inline.

  For me, the desired use would be to upload audio (like voicenotes) and play them back without having to download them.

  Would love to be able to drag and drop audio files and have them playable within workflowy. This would be a massive game changer for file organization.

  Ideally the ability to upload .mp3 .ogg. and .wav
