Data files that are textual are not identified as text for preview
I'd LOVE for the ability at the enterprise level to be able to say that ANY file with a given extension should be previewed as if it were this other extension. This would both add extensions as WELL as override the Box.com default content type logic.
examples:
myCustomersOrderData.edi should be previewed as is it were a text file, so .edi as .txt
.json as .txt
.funky as .mdI say at the enterprise level so this works for manually uploaded files. However, if an appropriate attribute could be sent in the file upload|modify|version APIs, that would be better than nothing.

Add the ability for previewer/uploader, viewer, and previewer to preview video files that contain watermarks.
Currently, due to the specifications in the following article, previewer/uploader, viewer, and previewer cannot preview watermark enabled video files from Box.
Box Notes, video, audio, flash, .msi, .exe, .zip, and 3D files do not support watermarking. Enabling this feature prevents previewer uploaders, viewers and previewers from viewing these file types.
Watermarking Files：

For company operations, when sharing video files with users outside the company, it is a rule to collaborate and share with users outside the company with previewer.

Correct the wording of 'Prior Versions'
Your Website states that:
The maximum number of prior file versions you can access corresponds to your Box account type:Personal Free - 1 Version
This simply isn't true, and I have argued this in a ticket and with a live agent, but the statement implies you can access a prior version of your file.
Definition of Prior is "earlier in time or order" so this makes your statement false as you cannot access anything but the CURRENT version in the Free version.
I would suggest the wording:
The maximum number of file versions you can access corresponds to your…1 vote -

Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution./ Boxプレビュー機能の解像度を高解像度に変更して欲しい。
Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution.
If you specify a magnification level that is sufficient to display the entire page and preview a file containing text, such as PDF or Word, the text resolution is low and the fonts displayed are difficult to read.

Option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when clicked on shared links
I would like the option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when my client clicked on my shared links. This pop-up window confuses them and leading them to think they must Sign Up or Log in in order for them to view and download my shared documents.
If my client like your product structure, I am sure they will sign up for an account themselves without the need to prompt them every time. This effect my business as I have received many complains about this window. They recommend for me to use other methods.

Edit thumbnails
We would like the ability to choose/change the thumbnail of an MP4 file. The random thumbnail
of my latest project shows our guest speaker in an awkward manner. We don't want her to be hesitant to share it! We offer a library of MP4s and consider thumbnail modification an esthetic/branding opportunity.1 vote -
Please Improve the overwriting of a file with the same name when it is uploaded with "Previewer/uploader" permission.
Please improve the following problems that occur when using the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege.
When a file with the same name as an existing file is uploaded, the file is overwritten and saved.
When a user with the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege uploads the same file name, Please the file name should be automatically converted to a different file name from the existing file, such as "File Name_2", so that it can be uploaded.

Support preview of script files such as Powershell .ps1 and .psm files
Preview fails on Box Web for Powershell scripts having a ps1 or other related extension.
Ideally this would allow one to look at the current as well as prior versions of the file in Box Web without having to download each version separately.6 votes -
I want to display the same date and time as the original file when I preview the file.
Please fix the following issues in the preview, which are also noted as known limitations:.
[Excerpt from the article]
Excel preview does not follow time information in the original file. When previewing Excel documents in Box, the time-related functions (for example, TODAY() or TIME()) do not display accurately. This is because Excel date/time functions are dynamic, while the previewed document is static. Box preview obtains and displays the date the file was previewed. A static version of the time/date is displays in the previewed document, based on the time the preview was generated.reference article

I want the ability to add comments to the version history
Now in the version history you will find the version number (for example: V1,V2...) is currently listed in the version history, the version number (for example: V1, V2...).
We check the contents of V1, V2... in the preview and restore the version.However, as the number of versions increases, it is difficult to find the exact version you need, so please add the ability to add a simple note in addition to the version number.

現在バージョン履歴では、バージョンナンバー(for example：V1,V2...)が記載されています。
私たちは、V1、V2...の内容をプレビューで都度確認し、バージョンを復元しています。しかし、バージョン数が多くなってくると、必要なバージョンを的確に見つけるのは難しいため、バージョン番号のほかに簡易なメモを併記できる機能を追加してください。
