Description

Currently, when we try to open a file, we are redirected to the onedrive file preview page.

  • User experience issue: It asks regularly for authentication. Ideate on something to show the file in a new tab in the same window. For that we'll need to fetch the file using the onefrive options and then show it on another tab.

It will be something like this: https://www.iitg.ac.in/acad/admission/fresher/

When u click on any of the "Click Here" symbols, it opens the file in the same window but in another tab. There might be some libraries for this, ideate and implement that.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current file viewing implementation and OneDrive authentication flow. Research ways to open files in a new tab, such as using a direct download link or an iframe overlay. Explore JavaScript libraries for rendering common file types (PDF, images, Office docs) locally in the browser.
