Desktop app - open text file attachments

CarlaB

One thing I really miss from the browser experience is being able to view text files attached to a row. PDFs display very nicely in the app with one click, but viewing txt files (which my team uses MUCH more commonly) or Word docs involves an entire process:

1) Click file name in Attachments panel.

2) Go to browser and see page saying I'm not logged in.

3) Log in to open SS in browser.

4) Find row again & open attachment in a new tab.

OR

1) Remember to click on the ... more icon.

2) Select download file.

3) Go to Win Explorer and navigate to Downloads folder.

4) Open text file.

And I usually just need a 5 second peek at the txt/doc so having it take 10x longer to open is really annoying. 😕

I agree that this is an annoying and time consuming issue that I encounter daily. I would love to see a resolution for this in the Desktop app. The file need not be editable- a view-only option within the app would be a significant improvement.
