  3. Improve the Level of Fidelity of Text Files Preview in Box's Web App

    Can Box please improve the level of fidelity of text files preview in Box's Web App? We have reports that are generated as text files, and these reports are formatted (with spaces) so the information is readable and consistent. Currently, our users have kept providing us with feed back that they are having a hard time using Box's file preview when looking at these reports because Box file preview does not keep the format they have, and as result these reports look messy and sometimes borderline unreadable. Most of our users just have opted to download these reports to open…

  6. Render InDesign files previews with high quality

    When Box creates a preview of Indesign .indd files, placed images are shown in low quality only. This prevents to run correction and approval processes with customers as some image formats aren't rendered at all (white images area), especially images with transparencies and vector images like .ai, .eps, but also .psd.
    We are an ad agency and we depend on properly rendered previews.
    Is there a way to render the previews in correct quality and resolution without beeing forced to create a PDF instead for approval?

    i can see two options:
    1) create the preview with InDesign server. In this…

  15. Enable the Translation function of the web browser in the preview

    Edge and Chrome have a web page translation function as standard, but Word, PPT files, and PDF files displayed on the Box preview screen cannot be translated.
    This is a real challenge for companies with employees of many nationalities.

  16. Preview Accuracy

    I understand that preview currently can not guarantee perfect accuracy and failing perfecting it which is the ideal solution, we'd like to be able to use MSFT online with read-only privileges. This would enable users with read-only access to still see the content displayed correctly whilst not being able to make changes or download.

  17. The version log on the right should make document type immediately evident

    When version history is displayed on the right, no indication of version type (docx or pdf) is given, other than the file size, from which an inference might be made. I told my co-workers I'm a "version nazi"--that is, I'm against starting a new Box document when we've finalized a Word document as a PDF. I want them to stack the PDF version(s) right on the old versions so that ALL versions of a specific document--whether docx or pdf--are in the same Box document. But to make this more palatable, it would help if a user could readily see file…

  19. 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".
