CUBE opens each file in the viewer that matches its format. This article lists every format CUBE supports, grouped by the viewer it opens in, plus the formats you can upload and store but not preview.
These are the default file types for a CUBE portal. Portal Administrators can change which file types are allowed and which viewer each one opens in, so your portal may differ.
