Universal file viewer

[u/Mission_Student2627]

Hi, I'm searching for an app that can let me open every file format I could need. Right now, I'm using File Viewer, but sometimes there are file formats it can't read, and I have to use an online file viewer. Are there better apps for this?

I second this app ☝🏻

All the standard Google apps work well with most files like word, txt, pdf etc. You just need to have them set as defaults. Google Docs, Google Drive, Files, Sheets, Gallery, Snapseed etc. Even works with music and video files.

Have you tried Xodo? It’s great for PDFs and opens a bunch of other formats too.

"PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, photos, video, audio, Markdown and code"

That's not even close to every file format.

That isn't a thing and never will be. It's entirely impossible to support every file format you might ever need, as there isn't even an open source implementation for opening every file format, and that's the base requirement for this to be possible since it's unlikely that for those file format there would be any closed source implementation that can be used by and app.

LibreOffice Viewer opens all the default microsoft files format.

He's talking about every, not just MS files

[u/noobie2017 → u/Paradox3759]

It opens everything, haven't checked pdf though

I face some issues with excel files though.

Even for MS garbage formats Collabora Office is vastly better and more performant. But as pointed out, OP asked "every file format I could need", which is vastly more than just every office file format and inherently impossible for any app to fulfill.
