Allow "plain text" toggle on preview pane for all small files
Right now, the preview pane on the site will refuse to display plain text files unless the file extension is one of a short list of types. However, there's no good reason why this files can't be displayed. There's no need to try to syntax-highlight the files, just display the contents.
Since the site won't necessarily know if a file with an obscure extension is a plain text file or not, all files below a certain reasonable length in bytes should have a toggle checkbox in the preview pane ("Display raw contents" or something) that would force the file to…

I would like to see two buttons, "Go to My Account" and "Log in", or be able to go back to the preview screen after logging in with "Go to M
Currently, when accessing a file link in an invited folder in Box without logging in to Box, [Go to My Account] is displayed in the upper right corner of the browser.
When I click "Go to My Account" and log in, the page moves to "All Files" instead of the preview screen that was open.
Previously, the "Login" button was displayed instead of "Go to My Account".
Also, the "Login" button is still displayed instead of "Go to My Account" in browsers that do not have a login cache.If you use the "Login" button to log in, you will…

Prevent text files from being truncated in Preview Mode
When working with Box, we gather data which we lock down using the classification tooling within Box. This prevents engineers from downloading sensitive or customer data to their personal workstations or unauthorised areas and is generally very useful.
However a main use case for us is allowing engineers to read through very verbose (long) log files which our product generates. When a customer provides us with these log files, we cannot always read important information, as box will truncate the view of these long files and inform the user that they should download the file to read it in it's…

Enable excalidraw on box
minimal case: enable preview of excalidraw files. excalidraw is open source (MIT) and strongly draws attention to fast hand-drawn sketches done quickly for more and more people.
optimal: include excalidraw capability editing online, store the file directly in box, enable inline editing similar to office documents.

Native to Box Music Player integration
We would like a native-to-Box music player. Formerly, the 'autoplay' function, when enabled on a music file such as MP3, would then cause all the remaining songs in a folder to play through, ie so you could listen through to a full album instead of needing to press 'play' on each track one by one. Now that function is gone. But we'd like to see a better solution in general for listening to music files we own.
We store an archive of music albums for our organization and this would definitely make accessing them more practical. Right now, we have…

Download selected version when preview unavailable
Download currently selected version in main window when preview is unavailable on Box.com
Presently, if the preview is unavailable when reviewing file versions, there is a "Preview is unavailable" message and a "Download" button appears there, but it only downloads the current (latest) version, not the version selected in the side bar.
While the file is available in the side bar with the ellipses, the download button does not indicate that is will only download the latest version, and not the version selected (but not preview able) in the side. This has caused confusion with our employees as our large…

I want you to make the preview of Excel easier to see
Excel is hard to see the preview.
The page is split unnaturally.
For example, in the case of Google Sheets, it looks the same whether it is Read Only or editable.
In the same way, I want you to improve it so that it looks the same regardless of whether it is Read Only or edit OK.エクセルがプレビューが見にくい。
不自然にページが分割される。例えばGoogleスプレッドシートの場合、Read Onlyでも編集OKでも、見た目は変わらない。
同じように、Read Onlyでも編集OKでも、見た目は同じになるように改善して欲しい。1 vote -
Please enable autoplay for multiple files in a folder
You used to be able to enable autoplay for files in a box folder. Now, even if you click on "enable" for autoplay, it does not. Why????

Correct the wording of 'Prior Versions'
Your Website states that:
The maximum number of prior file versions you can access corresponds to your Box account type:Personal Free - 1 Version
This simply isn't true, and I have argued this in a ticket and with a live agent, but the statement implies you can access a prior version of your file.
Definition of Prior is "earlier in time or order" so this makes your statement false as you cannot access anything but the CURRENT version in the Free version.
I would suggest the wording:
The maximum number of file versions you can access corresponds to your…1 vote -

Edit thumbnails
We would like the ability to choose/change the thumbnail of an MP4 file. The random thumbnail
of my latest project shows our guest speaker in an awkward manner. We don't want her to be hesitant to share it! We offer a library of MP4s and consider thumbnail modification an esthetic/branding opportunity.1 vote -
open a file in a defined app in a folder
i store files in a folder that are simple text files that can be viewed by any text editor. your preview option will not allow me to view them online simply because the extension is not txt.
sometimes its ".dat" or something else, but its still plain text. I should be able to select the viewer in the preview option and not have to download a text file to view it. your ms office word viewer would even allow me to see it.thanks

convert
Is there a way to convert the documents to pdf files in Box instead of downloading them and convert them manually to PDF file? If no, can you consider adding it to a setting where this option is available?

SVG thumbnails corrupted
Hi,
We are using box to store loads of SVG images of apartment floor plans.
When looking at a folder containing these images, the thumbnails are filled with large black areas, making it impossible to make out anything.From what I can see, the svg image preview is a .jpg image, so when the thumbnail is generated it probably fills some transparent areas with black.
Would it be possible to just use the SVG as a thumbnail instead? in our case all the generated jpg thumbnails are actually larger than the original svg.
I would provide an image / example…

enlargement of previewer movie over 100%
Though Box previewer has the full screen mode, further enlargement beyond the screen size cannot be realized.
Share screens of Zoom can be enlarged up to 300% by participant's manipulation. This function is convenient to selectively read a document written in small texts.
I wish the legibility when a recorded movie of Zoom is redistributed via the Box viewer.
