Forward and Backward Arrows
I don't think its an Idea, but to move through files the > arrow buttons seem to be backwards. The Left < is to move Foward and the Right > is to move backwards. When I think it should be the other way around for those of us who are use to < to be backwards and > to be forward.

Box Web
Currently, when previewing a file in Box, navigating to another file often requires leaving the preview or opening a new view, which disrupts the user’s workflow. Introducing an in-browser preview experience similar to Outlook’s email preview would represent a significant usability improvement.
Specifically, this enhancement would allow users to:
Open a file in a preview pane within the same browser window.
Seamlessly navigate between files (e.g., next / previous) without closing the preview.
Preserve folder context and file list visibility while reviewing content.
Avoid losing navigation state or opening additional windows or tabs.
Beyond general document review, this functionality would…

.360.jpg files
Previously, .360.jpg files could be viewed in 360° mode directly from the folder preview. After recent Box Previewer updates, they now open

Set the sidebar to be closed by default. The sidebar, document Preview, blocks to much of the screen and cannot be closed in embeds.
Within Document Preview, set the righthand sidebar to be closed by default. Within our Box embed the righthand sidebar covers way too much screen space, limiting the viewing of the document. The sidebar can NOT be closed in our small embed, due to the inability to view the minimize or close button. We need to have a way to close or minimize the sidebar when previewing a document in our small embed.

Display TIFF Files without strict metadata validation
TIFF generated across different business, internal and external streams are not consistent with the meta data validation. Some times, the file metadata claims the embedded JPEG uses 1x1 sampling (no subsampling, full resolution), but the actual JPEG data uses 2x1 horizontal chroma subsampling.
In these cases strict validations causes failures to preview the TIFF images, converting millions of such images to PDFs is not scalable effort.
BOX to provide a feature to ignore strict validation of the meta data.

Preference for preview screen panels
There is no preference in Box for what appears first when you go to the file preview screen. It used to go to Comments and Tasks, but now forces you directly to the Box AI panel and this cannot be changed. Please bring in a preference panel that lets you set the default preview panel behavior.

Batch preview of multiple files
When a large number of documents are sent from other users, it is currently necessary to open each document one by one.
When a large number of files are opened at the same time, it takes time to open them, which is inefficient.
We would like to have the ability to “preview” selected documents at once.--日本語訳--
タイトル：複数ファイルの一括プレビュー他のユーザーから大量の文書が送られてきた場合、現状では1つ1つの文書を開く必要がある。
多数のファイルを同時に開くと、開くのに時間がかかり、効率が悪い。
選択した文書を一度に「プレビュー」できる機能が欲しい。1 vote -
Spellcheck Suggestions for Comments while previewing a document
The benefit is that when we need to add extensive comments, we could be sure that spelling is correct and prevent confusion and additional back & forth. The spellcheck suggestion can just be a simple underline text that indicates spelling errors.
As a workaround, I can make the comments in another text software, but that slows down productivity if I have to constantly switch between applications.
Please add spellcheck capability for comments!

Date and time functions will not work correctly in shared Excel file
When an external collaborator opens a shared link of an Excel file (with 'People with the link' option selected) without logging into box, date and time functions will not work correctly.
This should be fixed, as it would easily bring about confusion.1 vote -
Improve JPG preview quality
Attempted to use Box Preview and commenting as an approval workflow. JPGs are not viewed 1:1 and the proxy preview image is too low of resolution. Would appreciate some control around the preview settings, or a higher-resolution preview.

Please remove the word "Download" from the download button
Please remove the word "Download" from the download button at the top right of the Box document screen and move it to the edge. Our internal analysis using Pendo revealed that users unfamiliar with Box often click the download button instead of sharing links because of the presence of the word "Download." This leads even experienced file server users to mistakenly press the download button. Please make the button smaller to prevent this.

Preview a file with an external user without requiring them to set up an account
We share a link with our clients to preview and donwload files, but they can't preview it. It was working until yesterday, but today is not anymore.
All the settings are correct.

preview text in monospaced font
It looks like the preview of text files is trying hard to show them in a monospaced font--it wraps the content in both <pre> and <code>--but there seems to be a stray CSS rule that overrides them to make it match the rest of the page instead:
.be *{font-family:inherit}
Sure would be nice if this could be fixed to display text files in monospace as seems to be intended.

preview dst files
I would very much like the ability to preview .dst files in the web version of Box. Dst files are a Tajima embroidery file. Right now we have to preview them via this website. https://ambassador.pulsemicro.com/

Needing to refresh my page after unlocking a google doc so I can move it is annoying
My users are complaining about all the extra clicks that Box requires vs. other cloud storage solutions. For instance, after unlocking a file, I have to refresh my page before I have the option to move that file. This seems like an easy thing to fix. Auto refresh the page after an unlock so all the file options are available.

Change the seconds to rewind/forward in video preview
As a movie dubbing translator, I need a functionality to rewind/forward 3 seconds. Currently only 5/10 seconds rewind/forward functionality is provided. Since translation for dubbing transcript requires precise timing, we rewind countless times. 5 seconds rewind is too long for a line. It may sound small, but it makes difference to translate hours of movies.

Recommended Content Feature on Preview Page
Proposing the addition of a "Recommended Content" feature on the preview page, similar to the "customers also viewed" suggestions seen on eCommerce sites.
This feature would leverage analytics on how collaborators interact with files, identifying patterns to suggest relevant documents that others have viewed under similar contexts.
The goal is to boost user engagement by highlighting potentially useful but overlooked content, thereby enhancing collaboration and productivity.The development of this feature should prioritize privacy and permissions to ensure recommendations are appropriate and secure. By making it easier for users to discover and access relevant content, we can significantly streamline workflows…

Automatic compression functionality
Implement automatic compression of media files (especially videos) or the ability to stream compressed ones only during preview.
Examples of requested features that are useful for business:
Ease preview restrictions on media files.
Eliminate the need to process files (separate or compress files).
Reduce resources on Box and traffic on the network.1 vote -
Custom content preview setting , Render Mode as Shape
