Ability to preview previously cached files by using spacebar in mac finder
When navigating through files in Mac Finder, if you select a file and hit spacebar it will pop open a preview.
Since Box Sync supports this one would think if a file has been previously opened and cached locally by Box Drive, it would also be supported but it doesn't

I agree with this suggestion. Thank you for submitting it. I'll add some additional comments.
I know the files are not stored locally and this is why the preview doesn't work. However, perhaps Box could work with Apple on quickly downloading the preview image when the space bar is clicked and open the preview image as normal. This would be a great asset to Box Drive.
Of course, it does work if you make the files available offline. However, if you need to eject Box Drive for any reason, you have to mark those viewing options again and allow time for downloading.
