Hi, This feature is very essential within internal process engineering teams of our business. We need the ability to be able to see 'git-style' diff between different versions of the same files, on the Box web interface(which is possible with competitors like Google Docs). The current method of downloading these versions locally and running diff on them is not very user-friendly. This is certainly a good opportunity to push through this feature and edge over the competitors.

Sometimes a mistake is made and not being able to clearly see what an editor may have done and only see two versions is problematic when the editor is not sure why they are now the "last editor" but did not intend to be. Lot sof popular software has this kind of "diff" feature, so it'd be nice if Box had one in the cloud as well.

This would be real useful when taking over a system developed by others with multiple versions of documentation to learn what changed when.

There are many business where user need to compare document, especially in the case of contract. It can be either 2 versions of the same document (wish already logged) but also 2 different documents
