Thank you.

 

Currently I solved this problem by getting preview link.

But I also have noticed that API doesn't allow get preview link on unsupported type though via site I can open any file on preview.

For now I generate preview links manually as follows:

https://www.dropbox.com/home/Attachments%20Root%20folder/Sample%204%20ofshore?preview=test3.xlsx

But it would be useful to fix API to allow get preview for any file type, and also include preview link into metadata returned by ListFolderAsync so that have ability to get preview links in bulk.
