Difficulty viewing .odt and .ods files (Libre Office)

Hi,
I always have difficulty viewing .odt and .ods files (Libre Office files).  I don't have this problem using OneDrive.  Anyone know why?

      I *can* view these files but it takes a long time to load and sometimes it fails and I have to try again and again.  My main file is only 147 Kb!

        Hi Miguelito67, how are you today?

         

        Which platform do you use in order to preview these files? Our desktop app, mobile or website? 

         

        Also, does this happen with all your files, or only some of them?

         

        Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
