  1. 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 lost

    This 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.

  2. 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

  4. Ability to preview without comments on word file

    Currently, Box always shows comments on word file in preview.
    This would be a bit hard to see word in preview.
    Since Microsoft Word Desktop application allows you to disable comments on view, we would like Box to implement like this feature.

  8. Add-ons tab and drawing ability

    The one crucial thing is that people cannot today leave google docs or other Word editing software. Because the G-suite integration misses the add-ons tab. You can buy stuff via the add-ons tab in google drive, like icons and symbols. These cannot be used in the g suite integration.

    Also the draw option is not available. I want to be able to draw tables and figures in my documents, i can't do that. So if im Writing in a document, at some Point i have to stop and refer back to google drive, which makes the whole idea of using…

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Real time collaborative PDF Markup

    Real time collaborative PDF markup between multiple users. Similar to how the iwork suite can be used collaboratively but with PDF. Drawing tools and iOS integration would be important. maybe using something like https://www.pdftron.com

  15. Character code conversion of csv file

    When displaying a csv file in preview, full-width values ​​are garbled.
    It was confirmed that the garbled characters were resolved by changing the character code to [UTF-8 (with BOM)].
    csv is automatically generated, so you need to open each file and change the character code.
    I would like a function such as changing the character code when saving in the settings on the box side.

    プレビューでcsvファイルを表示すると全角の値が文字化けします。
    文字コードを[UTF-8(BOM付き)]へ変更することにより、文字化けが解消することが確認できましたが、csvは自動で生成されるため1ファイルごと開いて文字コードを変更する必要があります。
    box側の設定で保存時に文字コードを変更するなどの機能を希望します。

  16. I would like to be able to view the history of previous versions of files that are compatible with the Excel online previewer on the Box Web

    内容:
    We would like to be able to check the contents of Excel files that are compatible with the Excel online previewer on the preview screen by clicking on the older version, just like Word, pptx, and other Office files.
    The only way to check the contents of the old version is to download or make the old version the latest version, which is very inconvenient.
    Achieving this functionality will increase operational efficiency and convenience.

    [タイトル]Excelオンラインプレビューアーに対応したファイルの旧バージョン履歴をBox Webのプレビュー上で閲覧できるようにしてほしい。

    Excelオンラインプレビューアーに対応したExcelファイルでも、Wordやpptx等のOfficeファイル同様に旧バージョンをクリックすることでプレビュー画面上から中身を確認出来るようにしたい。
    旧バージョンの中身を確認する場合はダウンロードか旧バージョンを最新バージョンにする方法しかなく非常に不便です。
    この機能を実現することで業務効率や利便性が上がります。

  17. Box Image Previews Now Crop the Preview in Grid View

    Box Preview now crops the images show in Grid View previews so the user is now unable to see the full image unless clicking in.

    The previous Grid View previews were the full image size, which allowed for faster reviews of multiple assets. Clicking into each size now adds a great deal of time to the file review process.

    Please consider changing back to the old Grid View preview system. Thank you!

  19. Gestures for jump 10 seconds rewind/forward in video player

    Please implement in video player some gestures for jump 10 seconds rewind/forward, eg double tap on sides like in youtube and many other apps. Because when I watch a long video, it's very hard to jump a little back-forward via tabs on the scroll bar, but this action (especially back) is needed very often, when I listen to the speech.

    We are using Box.com to obtain tax documents. Some of the images are coming upside down or sideways. We need a rotate feature in Box.
