Hello @AjayReddi12, I also had the same issue by inspecting it I got to know that react-doc-viewer internally uses msdoc-iframe renderer for doc/docx which requires files to be available publically.

Hi @vijay22uk Do you have any Solution to display DOC/DOCX file. Is there any other packages by which we can display any type of File. Thanks.

I am facing this same issue.

This shouldn't be the case.

This package is making false claims ...

I think they mentioned it can only display docx if it is a public URL because it uses some kind of microsoft viewer. Which makes this basically useless for the most of us.

We converted docx to pdf files on server using mammoth. For react-doc-viewer to display doc/x files they need to be available publicly so that iframe can open them.
