  4. preview for .skp (SketchUp)

    SketchUp is widely used 3D modeling application. It would be very good if SketchUp files (.skp) be previewed in Box so that various 3D model can be viewed, especially with iPad.

  5. Provide option to omit the Signup and Login buttons from shared links (downloladable)

    Please provide the option to omit the Signup and Login buttons for shared links (downloadable).

    The presence of the Signup and Login buttons reduces the value of our Box.com account since the only way to circumvent the Box.com marketing fluff is to copy file from box to our CMS rather than just referencing our Box.com files. The existence of the Signup button both on the preview and pop-up that displays after clicking download results in calls to our support center from visitors to our website. The embed widget unfortunately doesn't improve the issue. Alternatively, if we could embed the Box…

  6. Custom content preview setting , Render Mode as Shape

    In the 3D preview menu bar, I can manually set the desired value such as RenderMode as Shape. Need configuration in ui element or preview link API so that by default RenderMode - Shape is selected

  7. Improve the Level of Fidelity of Text Files Preview in Box's Web App

    Can Box please improve the level of fidelity of text files preview in Box's Web App? We have reports that are generated as text files, and these reports are formatted (with spaces) so the information is readable and consistent. Currently, our users have kept providing us with feed back that they are having a hard time using Box's file preview when looking at these reports because Box file preview does not keep the format they have, and as result these reports look messy and sometimes borderline unreadable. Most of our users just have opted to download these reports to open…

  8. Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movies

    Request: Improvement of preview of high resolution movie in Box

    Currently, when users preview movie files( .mov) in Box web app, sevearal issues happens depending on the files

    1. Unable to read the preview screen

    2. The preview stops suddenly in the middle of the movie file and unable to start again.

    According to the support ticket, the risk to happen the above is likely to increase when the movie file is relatively high quality/ high resolution. Actually the issues happen when we preview movie files which is 8 minute-long and 13 GB/file. So temporal workaround is to tune it and make…

  11. I want you to support high-quality videos such as 2160p and 4320p.

    The improvement in image quality of photographic equipment in recent years is remarkable.
    As a result, when previewing images and videos uploaded to Box, there is a concern that the maximum value of 1080p (Full HD) cannot be previewed.
    If you can preview data with higher image quality (2160p/4320p) than 1080p (full HD), you will be able to share information with high image quality and clarity.

    2160pや4320pなどの高画質な動画にも対応してほしい。 

    近年の撮影機器の画質向上は著しいです。
    これによりBoxにアップロードした画像や動画をプレビューする際に最大値の1080p(フルHD)ではプレビューできない事懸念されます。
    1080p(フルHD)よりも高画質( 2160p・4320p)なデータがプレビューできるようになると、高画質かつ鮮明に情報を共有することができます。

  12. Integrated 360° image viewer

    Integrate a 360-degree viewer into the preview to store, share and display 360° images with the possibility to pan and zoom around. Box is lacking this option right now and when uploading 360 images to Box they become flattened and distorted.

    Here is an example of a 360° image: https://theta360.com/s/k5R3wbxz2ktwvKyBPpgdOFCwW

  13. Render InDesign files previews with high quality

    When Box creates a preview of Indesign .indd files, placed images are shown in low quality only. This prevents to run correction and approval processes with customers as some image formats aren't rendered at all (white images area), especially images with transparencies and vector images like .ai, .eps, but also .psd.
    We are an ad agency and we depend on properly rendered previews.
    Is there a way to render the previews in correct quality and resolution without beeing forced to create a PDF instead for approval?

    i can see two options:
    1) create the preview with InDesign server. In this…

  16. I would like to be able to view the history of previous versions of files that are compatible with the Excel online previewer on the Box Web

    内容:
    We would like to be able to check the contents of Excel files that are compatible with the Excel online previewer on the preview screen by clicking on the older version, just like Word, pptx, and other Office files.
    The only way to check the contents of the old version is to download or make the old version the latest version, which is very inconvenient.
    Achieving this functionality will increase operational efficiency and convenience.

    [タイトル]Excelオンラインプレビューアーに対応したファイルの旧バージョン履歴をBox Webのプレビュー上で閲覧できるようにしてほしい。

    Excelオンラインプレビューアーに対応したExcelファイルでも、Wordやpptx等のOfficeファイル同様に旧バージョンをクリックすることでプレビュー画面上から中身を確認出来るようにしたい。
    旧バージョンの中身を確認する場合はダウンロードか旧バージョンを最新バージョンにする方法しかなく非常に不便です。
    この機能を実現することで業務効率や利便性が上がります。

  17. The new formatting just implemented is horrible, why did you change it? :(

    Go back to the formatting you had, please. This new grid view is less zoomed in so it really serves as a less optimal preview!

    Please consider allowing more zoomed in grid view images like it was up until about an hour ago! THANK YOU!!
