Support Embedded Audio/Video when Previewing PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) Files
Presentations sometimes have embedded audio/video, and when viewing the file in Box Preview, these embedded media components do not render/play.
This request is to allow this embedding to be rendered and exposed in Box Preview.

We do not have enough customer demand to support this request. Happy to reconsider with additional demand.

Support HTML webpage in Preview
Users have requested to run HTML pages and associated image assets in the same way that Dropbox supports them.
2 votesThis seems like website hosting on Box. This is not currently planned as there isn’t ample customer demand backing it.

Preview: Support for Microsoft PowerPoint in-slide animations
We would like to deliver presentation collateral that has animated PowerPoint content. Ideal scenario is to have the sales team be able to present content directly from Box (via tablet) without the need of a third party solution. Introducing additional solutions opens up more risk in terms of sensitive content leakage.

More accurate preview of Markdown and HTML files.
Markdown preview:
* Why is it paginated?
* Text doesn't render very nicely
* Doesn't support features such as links, bullets without a preceding blank line, emojiHTML preview:
* Why is it paginated?
* Text rendering is fuzzy
* Images missing
* URLs don't work2 votes -

This is not planned.
We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.

Allow for native editing of video content in Box
This is a pretty difficult ask but one of my customer has to migrate their video content stored in Box into another cloud app that's focused on video editing. That's alot of content to move and my AE was wondering if we could be better positioned to help them if we offered the ability to do some editing of video in Box.

Support Preview for Files larger than 500 MB for PowerPoint
Most of our decks are larger than 500 MB and this is a poor experience for our executives and customers.

Allow no logo to be displayed via API while allowing customers to display their own logo for standard web app.
It would be best if we could display no logo at all for API-generated embed / previews.

Documents password protected in external applications (such as Excel) preview as garbled text.
It would be better to have some sort of messaging that explained these types of documents aren't supported

Thanks for the feedback! We have added this to our backlog. Due to low customer demand for these file types, they are currently not prioritized on the roadmap.

Add support for browser-initiated Print Preview when "showDownload=true" is applied to preview URL
Currently when creating a preview link and using the browser's Print function, the preview (and thus printing) functionality is disabled.
It would be helpful for user experience if the user didn't have to click our printer button in the previewer (which opens a new window then uses the system print preview) and could instead use the system controls for printing (cmd-P for example) if a preview URL is appended with "showDownload=true"
0 votesNot planned. If the customer really wants, they could use our Representation APIs to build the desired flow themselves.
