Preview Gloobus also supports Marlin, the default file manager of Elementary OS, but to make it work but we have to activate it from dconf.
First install dconf-Editor, to do it from terminal type:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
We live dconf-editor and go to apps > marlin > preferences, then insert /usr/bin/gloobus-preview in the section previewer-path
As for Nautilus, the previews will be available by pressing the space key.
