After files have been uploaded in the system, you can download them from either the File page or the Case page.

What you should know

You can only view video files directly in the system if they were uploaded in a supported file format . If an unsupported file format is uploaded it will not be viewable in the application. For other formats, you must download the file to view the video.

To download a file, you must have the View and download permission level for that file. After a file is downloaded, no user activity on the file is tracked outside of the system.
