Gallery and preview views

Documents and images can be browsed in list, gallery, or preview modes. Individual images and PDFs support zoom levels of 50 %, 100 %, 200 %, and beyond. Preview and gallery views are optimized to use server-side color rendering and transfer only the data required for the current mobile display.
