Box Drive should preview files in windows explorer or Finder
There is a feature in Windows Explorer that allows you to enable a preview pane that previews the contents of files inside of the explorer window. This does not work on files that are in Box Drive even for files that have been opened before.

This is a feature we would love to get to, but unfortunately it is not on our short term roadmap. Please continue adding your feedback!

FYI, update Box Drive to FPE Drive and Quick Look for files is supported 🥳

Okay. It is 2021. Please put it on the list of things to do. Thank you much.

This seems like an obvious failure for BOX drive. This feature is commonplace in other cloud services and was even available with BOX sync. Not being able to quickly preview files and being forced to open them to see their contents (especially image-based files) is a real setback to efficiency and productivity. PLEASE REVISIT THIS SUGGESTION.
