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.

Link to Individual Pages in a Document
Would like to have the ability to create a link to specific pages in a document. We have use cases where we need to create links to individual slides in a PowerPoint document and insert them into other documents, which OneDrive currently offers.

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.

Preview video in keynote or PDF
As a user I would like to be able to share out a comprehensive keynote with embedded videos and maintain a preview only collaboration. currently videos have to be shared separately

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 -
Specify where the preview starts.
We upload a video to the Box and previews be accessed through a shared link.
In this case, the preview starts at the beginning of the video (0 minutes and 0 seconds).We'd like to be able to specify where the preview starts (e.g., 5 minutes and 0 seconds).
We believe that being able to freely determine where to start the video preview will broaden the use of the video preview.
We hope this feature will be added as a new feature.
私たちはBoxに動画をアップロードし、共有リンクを介してプレビューにアクセスすることができます。
この場合、プレビューは動画の先頭（0分0秒）から始まります。プレビューの開始位置（例：5分0秒）を指定できるようにしたいと考えています。
動画プレビューの開始位置を自由に決められるようになることで、動画プレビューの利用の幅が広がると考えています。
新機能として追加されることを期待しています。

Files can only be renamed in the Content Explorer, requiring navigation away from the file to rename while in the Content Preview element. The request is to allow files to be renamed while previewing the file.

Subtitle Format Expansion (SSA)
Right now the only supported subtitle formats are SRT (subrip), WebVTT, mov_text, and ccaption.
We have a large number of videos that utilize a widely utilized standard called Substation Alpha (SSA).
Please update the product for support of the SSA format.

Word Document preview blurry
Text in Word document previews is awfully blurry and splotchy.
Looks as though it was rendered and then rescaled to fit the window.1 vote -
3D/CAD File preview zoom function
<improvement>
Improve zoom/enlargement in 3D file preview functionWith the current 3D file preview function of Box, the display of the 3D model is small, and there is a limit to the distance that can be brought close to the 3D model even when zooming, so I would like to improve.
<Use case>
- BIM/CIM-based 3D CAD data can be easily displayed on a browser, which can be expected to improve communication with relevant parties and productivity.
- The viewer of a CAD maker has high performance and high affinity with CAD data, but it has a large burden such…68 votes
