Enabling Document Converter and Thumbs

Administrators can enable thumbs for all office documents (DOC, DOCX, PDF, PPT, PPTX etc.,).

  A thumb, also known as a thumbnail file, contains a small JPEG icon representing the application that created the document or the document type.

To display thumbnails, FileCloud uses a document converter server.
