  1. 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

  5. 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.

  9. 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.

    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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Documents password protected in external applications (such as Excel) preview as garbled text.

    It would be better to have some sort of messaging that explained these types of documents aren't supported

  18. Add support for browser-initiated Print Preview when "showDownload=true" is applied to preview URL

    Currently when creating a preview link and using the browser's Print function, the preview (and thus printing) functionality is disabled.

    It would be helpful for user experience if the user didn't have to click our printer button in the previewer (which opens a new window then uses the system print preview) and could instead use the system controls for printing (cmd-P for example) if a preview URL is appended with "showDownload=true"
