# Can I view Delta Drive files in my browser without downloading them?

Yes. Click a file in your drive on the website — or in something shared with you — and it opens in the browser: pictures (including HEIC) and SVG, PDFs, video and audio, text and code with highlighting, Markdown, JSON (checked, with a tree view), CSV and TSV as a table, web pages shown safely, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenDocument files, and ZIP-style archives listed.

You can move to the previous or next file, search inside it (⌘F or Ctrl+F), copy, download, print, go full screen, wrap lines and change the text size.

The same viewer has review tools — comments pinned to an exact spot, tasks and a review status. See [commenting on part of a file](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/can-i-comment-on-a-specific-part-of-a-file).
