  1. Preview Files .cr3 (Raw Canon)

    The new cameras now use the (raw) extension .cr3 It would be great if they could update the preview files to this extension.

  2. 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.

  3. Default PDF Preview Size

    Can we please set the default zoom percentage on a PDF that is being shared and viewed using Box? When you view a PDF, it would be great to be able set it so each page or spread fills the viewable screen.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. Live update of comments while in preview mode

    We'd like to have comments from other users automatically post & update real time for other collaborators who have the document open in Preview to see. Currently users have to refresh the screen or exit and re-enter the file to see a new comment if they are already in Preview mode

  8. Preview password protected documents

    We receive hundreds of password protected documents (excel, word, pdf) from our clients. For security purposes, we want to avoid storing confidential document on local PC and instead view them on the Web.

    Thank you for the submission! This is not planned.

    We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.

    We suggest using the Open With Preview framework which should give third-parties (the company in this case) the ability to integrate a viewer for these file types as part of Preview.

  11. want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.

    In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
    However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.

    It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.

    Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい

    Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右([←][→])を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
    しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。

    ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
    ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。

  12. preview for .skp (SketchUp)

    SketchUp is widely used 3D modeling application. It would be very good if SketchUp files (.skp) be previewed in Box so that various 3D model can be viewed, especially with iPad.

  13. I want you to support high-quality videos such as 2160p and 4320p.

    The improvement in image quality of photographic equipment in recent years is remarkable.
    As a result, when previewing images and videos uploaded to Box, there is a concern that the maximum value of 1080p (Full HD) cannot be previewed.
    If you can preview data with higher image quality (2160p/4320p) than 1080p (full HD), you will be able to share information with high image quality and clarity.

    2160pや4320pなどの高画質な動画にも対応してほしい。 

    近年の撮影機器の画質向上は著しいです。
    これによりBoxにアップロードした画像や動画をプレビューする際に最大値の1080p(フルHD)ではプレビューできない事懸念されます。
    1080p(フルHD)よりも高画質( 2160p・4320p)なデータがプレビューできるようになると、高画質かつ鮮明に情報を共有することができます。

  14. Integrated 360° image viewer

    Integrate a 360-degree viewer into the preview to store, share and display 360° images with the possibility to pan and zoom around. Box is lacking this option right now and when uploading 360 images to Box they become flattened and distorted.

    Here is an example of a 360° image: https://theta360.com/s/k5R3wbxz2ktwvKyBPpgdOFCwW

  15. The new formatting just implemented is horrible, why did you change it? :(

    Go back to the formatting you had, please. This new grid view is less zoomed in so it really serves as a less optimal preview!

    Please consider allowing more zoomed in grid view images like it was up until about an hour ago! THANK YOU!!

  17. Speed displayed in grid view

    I would like to request an improvement so that even if it is displayed in the grid view, it will be previewed in a few seconds.
    It takes time to find the desired image file in the grid view, which is inefficient.
    For example, if you display a folder with a large number of files in the grid view, it will be previewed little by little every few files, and it took about 2 minutes to display 374 files.

  19. 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.

  20. 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:
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044195253


    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.
    Since there are many situations where we want to prohibit downloading and screenshotting, we don't want to be unable to…
