File preview could use "Preview As..." option
Some people such as programmers use ".out" as a file extension for a text file. Although Box has done much work to support various filetypes in preview mode, Box does not offer a "Preview As Text" option as far as I can tell. It would be helpful to allow users to open files with "Open as text".

I second this idea -- I work with .R and .Rmd and .md files, all of which can be previewed as text. I don't need Box to auto-recognize that these are permutations of plain-text files (though that would be convenient) -- I just want a dropdown that says "preview as plain text".
