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.
【日本語】------------------------------------------------------------
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。

open a file in a defined app in a folder
i store files in a folder that are simple text files that can be viewed by any text editor. your preview option will not allow me to view them online simply because the extension is not txt.
sometimes its ".dat" or something else, but its still plain text. I should be able to select the viewer in the preview option and not have to download a text file to view it. your ms office word viewer would even allow me to see it.thanks

convert
Is there a way to convert the documents to pdf files in Box instead of downloading them and convert them manually to PDF file? If no, can you consider adding it to a setting where this option is available?

Would like to preview Fortran file extensions such as .f even if they were simply treated in the same manner as a .txt extension.

permanently purge file version history
Hello,
We have a use case that we use box as a temporary storage location in a workflow. But once the workflow is finished, we would like to purge the information but "keep" the same boxfileid. We thought by deleting the version history, we would have achieved this. But it turns out the deleted version history is restorable.
I am wondering if it is possible to
(1) optionally make a file "not" able to store version history
(2) or optionally permanently delete a version5 votes -
Thumbnail previews of documents should show file type: docx vs pdf
The new BOX.Com format no longer shows Word Docs with a Symbol vs PDF with
a different symbol.i.e. they have removed the prior, very visual, cues as to document type.
We can still see EXCEL symbol, but hopefully that will not be lostThis is a problem for us since we have many documents with long names, and
can't always see the final extension
Not to mention visual cues are exceedingly useful and helpful.8 votes -
Box Preview should not show hidden layers in PDFs
When PDFs have a hidden layer, Box currently still shows the hidden layer in the Box Preview.
We provide people with Box Links that only allow them preview abilities. This means that people could be making business decisions based on invalid preview content. We need to have the preview show the same contents (although they can be rendered differently) as the download contents.

Option to disable thumbnail preview entirely or for certain file types
Thumbnail previews of text based documents are not useful. I had a user reach out about this. they would rather have the icon preview for docx/pdf since the thumbnail is too small to give any info.

SVG thumbnails corrupted
Hi,
We are using box to store loads of SVG images of apartment floor plans.
When looking at a folder containing these images, the thumbnails are filled with large black areas, making it impossible to make out anything.From what I can see, the svg image preview is a .jpg image, so when the thumbnail is generated it probably fills some transparent areas with black.
Would it be possible to just use the SVG as a thumbnail instead? in our case all the generated jpg thumbnails are actually larger than the original svg.
I would provide an image / example…

enlargement of previewer movie over 100%
Though Box previewer has the full screen mode, further enlargement beyond the screen size cannot be realized.
Share screens of Zoom can be enlarged up to 300% by participant's manipulation. This function is convenient to selectively read a document written in small texts.
I wish the legibility when a recorded movie of Zoom is redistributed via the Box viewer.

Support more preview fonts
Zinc Group uses fonts that are currently not supported for Box web UI preview, Klavika and Stag. Since these fonts are used extensively in the company's approved document templates, they wish to have them added to the list of supported fonts for preview.

I would like to change the thumbnail/preview image for videos to a specific keyframe. You can do this in most video hosting platforms.
I would like to set custom thumbnails/preview images for videos. We should be able to set it as a specific keyframe or even a custom image. You can already do this on Youtube, Vimeo etc.

I want to name or add descriptions to the different versions of a file
I have some documents with hundreds of versions. Right now, though, the only versions I would ever refer to are those uploaded in the past few weeks, when I remember the changes made and have context for why the file was updated. Looking back on new versions a year ago, I have no way of knowing what changes were made, what versions were major changes and what were marginal. The ability to preview prior versions is nice, but without the ability to review changes to the text, I would spend hours trying to understand what was different about a prior…

I would really love to be able to see and use my PDF bookmarks from within the Box preview service
I have large PDF files that are stored on Box. Rather than having to always download the files I would like to use the bookmarks within the PDF to navigate even if I am in the Box Preview function.
Thank you for considering this enhancement

Large file preview support
A 360 degree video is taken and processed for upload to Box with the ".360" extension
The files could potentially be very large (up to or sometimes more than 5 GB)
With the use of Box sharing features, the 360 degree videos to be viewed/previewed by others1 vote
