My MATLAB Drive will not open the Quadcopter.slx file. It brings me to a message reading, 'preview for this file is unavailable. Download the file to view its contents. I tried downloading it to Word or Adobe Illustrator, but these apps did not work for me.
I ask, which app do I use to open the file or, how do I solve the original problem?

Download it to 7zip or WinRAR or similar. It will unzip to be a directory containing mostly HTML files

The file is a Simulink model. You can potentially open it using MATLAB Online, but if not then you need MATLAB Desktop with Simulink installed to view it.

Thanks for the suggestion, it started working earlier again but if this issue rearises I'll definitely use this method. Thanks so much.
