  1. 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。

  2. I want to change the preview size when embedding the preview into BoxNotes. / BoxNotesへプレビュー埋め込みする際にプレビューサイズの変更を行いたい。

    When I insert a shared link into BoxNotes, the default preview size takes up a lot of vertical space when displayed as a preview, and it gets in the way.

    I would like the ability to resize the preview display, minimize it like the preview display of an external link, or collapse the preview screen.

    (In Japanese)
    BoxNotesに共有リンクを挿入した際、プレビューとして表示にすると既定のプレビューサイズでは、縦サイズを大きく取ってしまい邪魔になります。
    プレビュー表示のサイズを変更したり、外部リンクのプレビュー表示のように最小化したり、プレビュー画面を折りたたむ機能が欲しいです。

  3. I would like to be able to customzie the content preview window side bar

    Once Box AI is enabled it takes the top spot as the default sidebar view in the content preview window. Some of my users would like the Activity Tab to load first, as they depend on seeing comments. Being able to customize the sidebar icons would be great

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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?

  9. Add toggling of comment and annotation creation

    Users want the ability to highlight text and copy-to-clipboard while in Preview mode.
    Currently, clicking and dragging results in entering comment-generation mode.
    The only workarounds:
    1. Enter editing mode (but this may not be possible with all roles, and may risk making unintended changes)
    2. View the document full-screen (this is not intuitive).

    Solution: add a one-click toggle, perhaps on the comment/annotation floating panel, that enables click-and-drag commenting OR disables it so highlight-and-copy can be used.

    This also could be implemented in such a way as to fulfill the following request

  10. Seamless zoom in box web app for pictures

    In light of Box's stance for Windows Universal apps. I'm requesting improved zooming support inside the preview/webapp experience.

    Currently to zoom you must manually click the +/- button which is a loss of function compared to a native desktop app where you might be able to zoom with the mouse wheel or ctrl+mouse wheel.

    Requesting that Box add a similar functionality to the preview / webapp.

    Below is Box' current official workaround for the issue:

    Windows Store Applications (Photos, Office, etc.): Users are unable to open files from the Box Drive folder when navigating to it from within these applications.…

  11. 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.

  12. 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/

  14. Playback of more than 8 audio-tracks (i.e. 16 audio-tracks).

    In web-preview: The audio-track selector should offer 16 audio-tracks for playback.
    An example file could be provided on request.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. Trash

    Can we have the ability to preview files in the trash can like we can in the web browser? Having all of the trashed files listed by name but with no way to preview makes it harder for me to identify the content I may want to permanently delete or restore. Also, can we please have the ability to know the folder path the deleted file will be restored to before restoring the file? I have to hunt down files after I restore them as there is no easy way for me to know where they are going to be…

  19. [Support preview of ".xct" files] Support preview of ".xct" files

    We use DocuWorks for our business.
    At this time, the Box preview supports ".xdw" and ".xbd", but unfortunately ".xct" is not yet supported.

    A similar request was submitted on the following BoxPulse, which was "Delivered" as of 09/2022, but only the ".xct" is still not in preview.
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/39875047-preview-files-about-xdw-xbd-and-xct-in-box-for-io

    Therefore, we need to register Fujifilm's source files with AppleStore in order to use DocuWorks from Box for EMM.
    It is very inconvenient that ".xct" cannot be previewed when using DocuWorks, so please add it to the preview support list.


    弊社では業務にDocuWorksを利用しています。
    現時点では、Boxのプレビューでは「.xdw」と「.xbd」に対応していますが、残念ながら「.xct」には未対応です。

    以下のBoxPulseで類似の要望が投稿されており、
    2022年09月の時点で「配信済み」になっていますが、現在も「.xct」のみプレビュー対象になっていません。
    https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/39875047-preview-files-about-xdw-xbd-and-xct-in-box-for-io

    そのため、弊社ではBox for EMMからDocuWorksを利用するにあたって、AppleStoreに富士フィルムのソースファイルを登録する必要が生じています。
    DocuWorksを利用するにあたり、「.xct」がプレビューできないのは大変不便なのでプレビューのサポート対象に加えてください。

  20. powerpoint preview

    It would be ideal if, when previewing a PPTX file, the facilitator notes for slides appeared along with the preview of the slide itself.
