  1. 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

  2. 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!!

  3. File preview could use "Preview As..." option

    Some people such as programmers use ".out" as a file extension for a text file. Although Box has done much work to support various filetypes in preview mode, Box does not offer a "Preview As Text" option as far as I can tell. It would be helpful to allow users to open files with "Open as text".

  4. Print Activity

    Having the activity in a document be printed with it or saved underneath. Like a printable view that salesforce has for their items.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  9. 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.

    (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。

  11. I want to display the same date and time as the original file when I preview the file.

    Please fix the following issues in the preview, which are also noted as known limitations:.

    [Excerpt from the article]
    Excel preview does not follow time information in the original file. When previewing Excel documents in Box, the time-related functions (for example, TODAY() or TIME()) do not display accurately. This is because Excel date/time functions are dynamic, while the previewed document is static. Box preview obtains and displays the date the file was previewed. A static version of the time/date is displays in the previewed document, based on the time the preview was generated.

  13. I want to name or add descriptions to the different versions of a file

    I have some documents with hundreds of versions. Right now, though, the only versions I would ever refer to are those uploaded in the past few weeks, when I remember the changes made and have context for why the file was updated. Looking back on new versions a year ago, I have no way of knowing what changes were made, what versions were major changes and what were marginal. The ability to preview prior versions is nice, but without the ability to review changes to the text, I would spend hours trying to understand what was different about a prior…

  15. I would like the kind of functionality in BOX that I get with GoogleDocs

    My main input is that I would like the kind of functionality in BOX that I get with GoogleDocs – in particular the ability to work in a document at the same time, see who is editing the document at a time, track their changes, revert to newer versions. In box, the work is linear and when you are working at the same time and save (if you haven’t lockd people out), it makes another copy. Seems so slow compared to GoogleDoc speed.

  17. More accurate preview of Markdown and HTML files.

  19. 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。

  20. 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?
