  1. Add "expand all" flag for annotations

    Currently, all point/comment annotations are collapsed by default.

    If a user leaves many annotations on a multi page document, this can lead to some point annotations being missed.

    There should be an expand all option to mitigate this.

    Thank you for the submission! This is not planned.

    We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.

    We suggest using the Open With Preview framework which should give third-parties (the company in this case) the ability to integrate a viewer for these file types as part of Preview.

  5. New 3D Preview File Type: CAD Files

    Box's native 3D Preview feature does not currently support common CAD file types such as...
    .idw
    .ipt
    .iam
    .dwf
    .dwfx

    REQUEST: Natively support 3D preview in Box for these common CAD file types.

  6. Live update of comments while in preview mode

    We'd like to have comments from other users automatically post & update real time for other collaborators who have the document open in Preview to see. Currently users have to refresh the screen or exit and re-enter the file to see a new comment if they are already in Preview mode

  10. Support Embedded Audio/Video when Previewing PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx) Files

    Presentations sometimes have embedded audio/video, and when viewing the file in Box Preview, these embedded media components do not render/play.

    This request is to allow this embedding to be rendered and exposed in Box Preview.

  14. Preview: Support for Microsoft PowerPoint in-slide animations

    We would like to deliver presentation collateral that has animated PowerPoint content. Ideal scenario is to have the sales team be able to present content directly from Box (via tablet) without the need of a third party solution. Introducing additional solutions opens up more risk in terms of sensitive content leakage.

  17. More accurate preview of Markdown and HTML files.

    Markdown preview:
    * Why is it paginated?
    * Text doesn't render very nicely
    * Doesn't support features such as links, bullets without a preceding blank line, emoji

    HTML preview:
    * Why is it paginated?
    * Text rendering is fuzzy
    * Images missing
    * URLs don't work

    Thanks for the feedback! We have added this to our backlog. Due to low customer demand for these file types, they are currently not prioritized on the roadmap.

  19. Support Preview for Files larger than 500 MB for PowerPoint

    Most of our decks are larger than 500 MB and this is a poor experience for our executives and customers.

  20. Allow no logo to be displayed via API while allowing customers to display their own logo for standard web app.

    It would be best if we could display no logo at all for API-generated embed / previews.
