Glide OS today announced the launch of an integrated file-viewing component for the GDrive that provides instant full-length previews of files in your browser for over 250 different file formats. Now you can quickly scan the content of your files right in your browser without the need to open applications or download files. All you need is a browser. The new GDrive is available at http://www.GlideOS.com.

For example, you can preview all of the individual pages of a Microsoft Word document from virtually any browser and even print the document without opening Microsoft Word. In addition, you can view the document in full screen mode and even zoom in and out for greater control. The GDrive file viewer features high-resolution document viewing. To view a file in your GDrive, simply click on “go” and then select the “About” function from the Pie Menu.

Glide supports over 250 different file formats for file previewing including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, PSD, GIF, EPS; MP3, WMA, AIFF, WAV, M4A, QuickTime (MOV), Windows Media Video (WMV), Flash Video (FLV), AVI, MPG and MP4.

"By leveraging an online OS with a cross platform mission, Glide is able to continuously deliver powerful cross platform services for consumers and businesses like the new GDrive File Viewer," said TransMedia Chairman and CEO, Donald Leka. "Glide's cross platform capabilities point to a future of cloud computing that offers the promise of transcending the traditional proprietary technology model to benefit consumers and businesses."

In 2005, the Glide OS launched a cross platform cloud computing solution that today provides automated file translation for Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Palm Pre Symbian and Windows Mobile. Now Glide offers even faster previews, more file format support and more free storage, 30GBs.
