The platform acts as a regular cloud service where any file can be uploaded regardless of filetype or format.
Being a platform specialized for marine data, a range of common sensor and other spatial file formats are supported. These files are smartly indexed and made available for preview in the file inspector. This includes previews of spatial footprints, file information and metadata, tabular and 3D previews, whichever is applicable for the specific file formats.
In addition, common media formats (docx, xlsx, pdf, png, jpg) and various video formats as well as unformatted text can be visualized.
Not listed file types need to be downloaded and viewed in a suitable application.

Table View by File Format in alphabetical Order
During files inspection appropriate views are offered depending on the individual file type (e.g. show metadata of sensor used, tabular file content, location of survey data on map, processing log, pointcloud 3D view).
To preview a file or open a sensor specific file please select a file of this type within the left side tree view, the right main area will then (if supported according to below list) populate with appropriate content.
