  1. 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!

  3. 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.

  5. 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 version

  6. More accurate presentation on progress bar of preview

    Preview of a large file can take long time for rendering, and currently progress bar goes from 0 to 90% quite quickly, but never progresses from that point. This is misleading and we want progress bar to give more accurate presentation on how much longer we need to wait for preview to be loaded.

  8. View only share link to have a print option

    When you give someone a share link to view only, it would be really useful if there was a print option as is available for normal previews.

  11. 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.

  12. Request for improvement of the event where the cell date is different when previewing an Excel file

    In Excel, if you enter a date in a cell with a custom format, a different date will be displayed when viewed with previewer permissions.
    For example, if you enter "2026/1/1", if you check it with the previewer permission, it will be displayed as "2026/10/12".
    This event is described below.

    Introducing Box Preview – Box Support
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195013-Introducing-Box-Preview

    “Date values with the custom format "yyyy/m/d (aaa)" may show incorrect dates. This is due to a bug in the library that Box Content Preview has a dependency on. The workaround is to use a different format such as "yyyy/m/d (ddd)" or "yyyy/m/d".”

  13. Box Preview - Support native preview of .XLSB format

    For regulatory requirements, users are required to have the 'Previewer' access level on certain content to avoid Download permissions.

    However, this means the user is unable to use Excel Online Previewer (due to this requiring 'Download' permission), nor open the file in another editor.

    Unlike the .XLSX or .XLSM formats, .XLSB files do not generate a PDF conversion, which makes these files fully inaccessible to Previewers.

    The request is for .XLSB files to be supported in Box's native Content Preview.

  14. Display sidebar icons anywhere/サイドバーアイコンを任意の場所に表示

    We want to move the icon in the sidebar that appears when previewing a Box file freely and fix it where I want it.
    When BoxAI is activated, the BoxAI icon appears at the top of the sidebar.
    However, since the BoxAI icon is displayed at the top of the sidebar and comments (tasks) are not displayed immediately below it, they are overlooked.
    Therefore, it is a hassle to switch to the Activity column that appears below BoxAI.

    (日本語訳)
    Boxファイルのプレビュー時に表示されるサイドバーのアイコンを自由に移動して、好きな場所に固定したい。
    BoxAIを起動すると、サイドバーの上部にBoxAIのアイコンが表示される。
    しかし、BoxAIのアイコンがサイドバーの上部に表示され、そのすぐ下にコメント(タスク)が表示されないため、見落としてしまう。
    そのため、BoxAIの下に表示されるアクティビティ欄に切り替えるのが面倒だ。

  15. I want to change the preview size when embedding the preview into BoxNotes. / BoxNotesへプレビュー埋め込みする際にプレビューサイズの変更を行いたい。

    When I insert a shared link into BoxNotes, the default preview size takes up a lot of vertical space when displayed as a preview, and it gets in the way.

    I would like the ability to resize the preview display, minimize it like the preview display of an external link, or collapse the preview screen.

    (In Japanese)
    BoxNotesに共有リンクを挿入した際、プレビューとして表示にすると既定のプレビューサイズでは、縦サイズを大きく取ってしまい邪魔になります。
    プレビュー表示のサイズを変更したり、外部リンクのプレビュー表示のように最小化したり、プレビュー画面を折りたたむ機能が欲しいです。

  16. ARW

    I am currently using Box for our file storage and collaboration needs. I noticed that the ARW (Sony RAW image) file format is not currently supported for preview within Box. Could you please provide any information on whether there are plans to support ARW file previews in the near future? If so, could you share any anticipated timelines for this feature release?

  17. [Support preview of ".xct" files] Support preview of ".xct" files

    We use DocuWorks for our business.
    At this time, the Box preview supports ".xdw" and ".xbd", but unfortunately ".xct" is not yet supported.

    A similar request was submitted on the following BoxPulse, which was "Delivered" as of 09/2022, but only the ".xct" is still not in preview.
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/39875047-preview-files-about-xdw-xbd-and-xct-in-box-for-io

    Therefore, we need to register Fujifilm's source files with AppleStore in order to use DocuWorks from Box for EMM.
    It is very inconvenient that ".xct" cannot be previewed when using DocuWorks, so please add it to the preview support list.


    弊社では業務にDocuWorksを利用しています。
    現時点では、Boxのプレビューでは「.xdw」と「.xbd」に対応していますが、残念ながら「.xct」には未対応です。

    以下のBoxPulseで類似の要望が投稿されており、
    2022年09月の時点で「配信済み」になっていますが、現在も「.xct」のみプレビュー対象になっていません。
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/39875047-preview-files-about-xdw-xbd-and-xct-in-box-for-io

    そのため、弊社ではBox for EMMからDocuWorksを利用するにあたって、AppleStoreに富士フィルムのソースファイルを登録する必要が生じています。
    DocuWorksを利用するにあたり、「.xct」がプレビューできないのは大変不便なのでプレビューのサポート対象に加えてください。

  18. Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movies

    Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movie in Box

    Currently, when users preview movie files( .mov) in Box web app, sevearal issues happens depending on the files

    1. Unable to read the preview screen

    2. The preview stops suddenly in the middle of the movie file and unable to start again.

    According to the support ticket, the risk to happen the above is likely to increase when the movie file is relatively high quality/ high resolution. Actually the issues happen when we preview movie files which is 8 minute-long and 13 GB/file. So temporal workaround is to tune it and make…

  19. 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.

  20. Highlight Text and Translate the word

    Inside the preview, it would be great when I highlight a text in a file, it would automatically translate the word into a language thats is set on the browser. For example highlighting an English word and translating it into Japanese.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration.
