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 -
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.

Add support for Canon, Nikon, Sony images
Supported by Google Drive.
Canon = .cr2
Nikon = .nef
Sony = .arw5 votesThank 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.

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.

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。4 votes -
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。4 votes -

[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-ioTherefore, 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。

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
Unable to read the preview screen
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…

Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution./ Boxプレビュー機能の解像度を高解像度に変更して欲しい。
Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution.
If you specify a magnification level that is sufficient to display the entire page and preview a file containing text, such as PDF or Word, the text resolution is low and the fonts displayed are difficult to read.

Support HTML webpage in Preview
Users have requested to run HTML pages and associated image assets in the same way that Dropbox supports them.

Add toggling of comment and annotation creation
Users want the ability to highlight text and copy-to-clipboard while in Preview mode.
Currently, clicking and dragging results in entering comment-generation mode.
The only workarounds:
1. Enter editing mode (but this may not be possible with all roles, and may risk making unintended changes)
2. View the document full-screen (this is not intuitive).Solution: add a one-click toggle, perhaps on the comment/annotation floating panel, that enables click-and-drag commenting OR disables it so highlight-and-copy can be used.
This also could be implemented in such a way as to fulfill the following request

Seamless zoom in box web app for pictures
In light of Box's stance for Windows Universal apps. I'm requesting improved zooming support inside the preview/webapp experience.
Currently to zoom you must manually click the +/- button which is a loss of function compared to a native desktop app where you might be able to zoom with the mouse wheel or ctrl+mouse wheel.
Requesting that Box add a similar functionality to the preview / webapp.
Below is Box' current official workaround for the issue:
Windows Store Applications (Photos, Office, etc.): Users are unable to open files from the Box Drive folder when navigating to it from within these applications.…
