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.

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?

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

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.…

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.

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…

[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-ioTherefore, 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。4 votes -
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.

Ability to rotate multi-page TIFF files in Box Preview
For scanning use cases, Content is typically scanned into Box as a TIFF file that can have multiple pages. For review purposes, it would be great to have the ability to rotate individual apges of the TIFF file if they were scanned incorrectly. Otherwise, end users have to download the multi-page TIFF file to rotate files. For our use case, downloading files to local disk should be avoided because of the sensitivity of the files.

Allow preview/editing of Office files other than PW-protected Excel (.xlsx) files.
We feel that the inability to preview/edit PW protected files makes it less convenient.
In order to ensure security, we often assign passwords to not only Excel files, but also to PowerPoint and Word files, and there are many opportunities to collaborate on editing PowerPoint and Word files. This is because not supporting online access reduces work efficiency.PW保護しているファイルがプレビュー/編集できないことで利便性が低いと感じております。
当社ではセキュリティを確保する目的で、Excel に限らず PowerPoint や Word についてもファイル自体にパスワードを付与していることが多いという点と、Power Point、Word ファイルを共同編集する機会も多く、Online で対応していないことにより作業効率が下がってしまうためです。2 votes -
About Comment Function
■request
I would like to have reaction buttons ("Like", "Super Like", "Sad", "Laugh", etc.) for the comments in the box preview screen.■background
Since the current Box comment function does not have a reaction function, it is necessary to comment even if you agree with or accept the comment.
We would like to have a reaction button when agreeing with a comment, as we believe this will encourage collaboration.【日本語】
■要望
Boxのプレビュー画面でコメントを記入する欄にそのコメントに対してのリアクションボタン(「いいね」や「超いいね」、「悲しい」「笑い」等)が欲しい■背景
現状Boxコメント機能はリアクション機能がない為、コメントに対して了解したり同意する場合もコメントする必要があります。
コメントに対して同意する意味を込める時にリアクションボタンがあるとコラボレーションを活発に行う事ができると考えている為機能実装を希望します。6 votes -
Character code conversion of csv file
When displaying a csv file in preview, full-width values are garbled.
It was confirmed that the garbled characters were resolved by changing the character code to [UTF-8 (with BOM)].
csv is automatically generated, so you need to open each file and change the character code.
I would like a function such as changing the character code when saving in the settings on the box side.プレビューでcsvファイルを表示すると全角の値が文字化けします。
文字コードを[UTF-8(BOM付き)]へ変更することにより、文字化けが解消することが確認できましたが、csvは自動で生成されるため1ファイルごと開いて文字コードを変更する必要があります。
box側の設定で保存時に文字コードを変更するなどの機能を希望します。3 votes -
want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.
want to prevent Excel from moving files on the preview screen.
In the Excel preview screen, pressing left and right ([←] and [→]) on the keyboard scrolls the file if a cell is already selected.
However, when the preview screen is open and no cells are selected, it switches to another file.It is confusing for users that the keyboard behaves differently depending on the file and cell selection status. We request the ability to change settings to prevent file switching.
Excelのプレビュー画面でのファイル移動をさせないようにしたい
Excelのプレビュー画面で、キーボードの左右([←][→])を押すと、セルを選択した後であれば、スクロールされます。
しかし、プレビュー画面開いてセル未選択の状態だと別のファイルに切り替わります。ファイルやセル選択状況によって、キーボードのの挙動が異なるのはユーザーにとって紛らわしいため
ファイルの切り替えをさせないように設定変更ができる機能を要望します。3 votes -
Default to files being in alphabetical order
it's such a bummer that I have to click the file button on top to sort an alphabetical order… And it's not even me… there are people on my team we don't know how to do this yet… This should be a very standard feature
