There are generally three categories of support for specific file formats for the Files tool on web.
Supported for upload only: You can upload and store many different file formats. However, some of these supported file types can't be opened and viewed in Files (for example, .zip files). If a file format can be uploaded but not opened, then it falls into this category.
Supported for upload and view: The Viewable Files table details those supported files which you can upload and open to view in the Files tool.
Unsupported files: The Unsupported file formats table details those file formats which can't be uploaded or viewed in the Files tool.
You can use the search at the top of the table to narrow down results in the table.

*.iam and .ipt files can be uploaded in Files as linked files if the .iam file is specified as the parent file. For this upload method, only one level of children nodes is supported. These file types can also be uploaded using Desktop Connector for Docs, where you'll be able to specify the full path to the Inventor project file (.ipj). Multiple levels of children nodes are supported for this method.
** The viewer will only generate web views for InfraWorks models that have been published to an Autodesk Construction Cloud project from the InfraWorks desktop environment. The viewer will not generate web views for InfraWorks models that were uploaded to an Autodesk Construction Cloud from a web browser.
*** The ReCap Viewer requires WebGL 2.0. If using the Safari browser, the ReCap Viewer requires Safari 14.0.0 or later. To enable WebGL 2.0 for Safari, go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > and turn on the option to show the Develop menu. From the Develop menu, go to Experimental Features > Enable WebGL 2.0.
