What can we do to show (pdf) documents which is stored in Azure Blob storage in the previewer component?
Now it shows a download link (see below), while it worked for files that are stored in Azure File Storage

+23Hi Harm,
The Preview component is unable to show the file as the file is not truly a file at that stage. The file data is not obtained when the Preview component reads the URL as it lacks the metadata that would otherwise enable the Preview to preview the file.
We can look into adding this capability to also preview Blob storage files, but some things will need to be changed on our side to make that happen. I'll convert this topic to an idea for you.

Hi Mark,
Thank you. It’s a pity that this won’t work for now, but I more or less understand the limitation. An additional drawback of downloads is that end users’ download folder become full in no-time.
The only workaround I can think of is to temporarily store the file as varbinary in a table and clean up that table periodically.
