Unfortunately, this isn't something you can fix. The site has set up their files to be sent as an octet stream - a string of file bits - rather than as a PDF or whatever document.
So the browser has no idea what it is, and just downloads it as instructed. You can't change that. Harshit J You just find out some document file over the net. And paste your link in address bar of internet browser after the below link. For example, gmail offers the ability to "view" or "download". Note: if you want to make sure that a file is virus-free before downloading it, there are a number of websites that do that. The one that I use is. You just give it the URL, and it will scan the file for viruses.
Caroline B Thanx for your tip! Oron Joffe It's not possible to answer this generically. Whether a document will open within the browser or download first depends on the browser and its configuration , the file format and to a certain extent the design of the web site.
However, note that even when just "previewing" a document, the entire document is downloaded to the local drive, to a temp folder at least for "ordinary documents such as Word, PDFs etc , so in terms of speed and bandwidth it makes little difference, and arguably, you'll be saving yourself some bandwidth by saving the files in the first place, since you'll not need to download them twice. Google must have changed their settings page. There are no auto-open options near the download setion.

The solution, with the cause now found, is equally simple: menu, settings , scroll to bottom, click advanced , click clear browsing data and select how long a time you have been frustrated: last day usually does it for me. And then click Clear browsing data. At least Chrome has the choice of time period, to avoid having to erase the entire cache.
