Video files take way too long until the preview starts. Shuttling is not possible until completely buffered.

To solve this, the preview could be converted in the background into a more web friendly file that starts immediately and allows shuttling. As offered by many other services.

I would like to be able to play video and audio when previewing.
For security reasons, I would like to share video and audio without allowing external users to download them.
This will be a useful feature for media users.

I'd LOVE for the ability at the enterprise level to be able to say that ANY file with a given extension should be previewed as if it were this other extension. This would both add extensions as WELL as override the Box.com default content type logic.

examples:

myCustomersOrderData.edi should be previewed as is it were a text file, so .edi as .txt

.json as .txt
.funky as .md

I say at the enterprise level so this works for manually uploaded files. However, if an appropriate attribute could be sent in the file upload|modify|version APIs, that would be better than nothing.

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.

(In Japanese)
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。
ページ全体を表示する程度の倍率を指定し、PDFやWordなどの文字を含むファイルをプレビューすると、文字の解像度が低く、表示されるフォントが読みづらい。

Please improve the following problems that occur when using the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege.

When a file with the same name as an existing file is uploaded, the file is overwritten and saved.

When a user with the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege uploads the same file name, Please the file name should be automatically converted to a different file name from the existing file, such as "File Name_2", so that it can be uploaded.

「プレビューアー／アップローダー」権限の際に起こる下記現象を改善してください。

既に存在しているファイルと同一名のファイルをアップロードした際、上書き保存されてしまう事象。

「プレビューアー／アップローダー」権限のユーザーが同一ファイル名をアップロードした際は「ファイル名_2」等、既存のファイルとは別のファイルへファイル名を自動変換しアップロード可能にしてほしい。

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.

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.

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.

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.

A better representation of the PDF preview would be helpful for designers when sending files for clients to preview.

Clients often just look at the preview and have questions about the color when the download has the correct representation.

can u associate filename.mht (the mht extension) with a broswer so we can preview it without having to download mht files??

Request for Box native preview for Rhinoceros 3D files (e.g. .3dm and .stp).

I am shocked that Box doesn’t allow frame by frame movement through web viewing. This is something that should be addressed as a priority. I won’t be subscribing to Box until this is an available function. This is so necessary in the television industry without downloading.

Our company live on .mmp files. Preview would be super.

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.

The ability to have a video preview autoplay upon opening a web page.

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