Hi Rami,

The files stored in WorkflowGen are secure and cannot be accessed through a URL.  
In order to see those files without downloading them, they need to be public.  
What you can do is create a custom application that uploads/copies the files in a shared location and implement a viewer such as ViewerJS to view those files: [https://viewerjs.org/instructions/](https://viewerjs.org/instructions/)

Eddy.

Hi Rami,

The system validates the logged in user before showing/downloading a file in the follow up form.  
This functionality is not implemented in the form itself.
