    I agree, at minimum, basic media types need to have in-app previews: images, sound files, videos and common document formats (texts, presentations, etc).

    Actually, this is required for the security of file sharing on ProtonDrive: without previews, the recipient always has to download the content to their device. Someone else may have access to that device currently (shared with a family member, or it may be a work laptop/phone), or there may be unauthorized access in the future (the device is lost, or it runs a vulnerable operating system and is infiltrated by a virus, or a future owner may be able to restore deleted data from the hard drive).

    It's important to emphasize that the preview should be available to the *recipient* of the link as well. Currently the little preview that is available (only for images I think) is only available to the uploader from within ProtonDrive. The recipient can't preview it.

    Bottom line: if interaction with the content can stay within the browser, most of these scenarios won't mean a threat to the privacy of shared data.
