I want you to make the preview of Excel easier to see
Excel is hard to see the preview.
The page is split unnaturally.
For example, in the case of Google Sheets, it looks the same whether it is Read Only or editable.
In the same way, I want you to improve it so that it looks the same regardless of whether it is Read Only or edit OK.エクセルがプレビューが見にくい。

Data files that are textual are not identified as text for preview
I'd LOVE for the ability at the enterprise level to be able to say that ANY file with a given extension should be previewed as if it were this other extension. This would both add extensions as WELL as override the Box.com default content type logic.
examples:
myCustomersOrderData.edi should be previewed as is it were a text file, so .edi as .txt
.json as .txt
.funky as .mdI say at the enterprise level so this works for manually uploaded files. However, if an appropriate attribute could be sent in the file upload|modify|version APIs, that would be better than nothing.

Box Preview should not show hidden layers in PDFs
When PDFs have a hidden layer, Box currently still shows the hidden layer in the Box Preview.
We provide people with Box Links that only allow them preview abilities. This means that people could be making business decisions based on invalid preview content. We need to have the preview show the same contents (although they can be rendered differently) as the download contents.

I would like to change the thumbnail/preview image for videos to a specific keyframe. You can do this in most video hosting platforms.
I would like to set custom thumbnails/preview images for videos. We should be able to set it as a specific keyframe or even a custom image. You can already do this on Youtube, Vimeo etc.

Support preview of script files such as Powershell .ps1 and .psm files
Preview fails on Box Web for Powershell scripts having a ps1 or other related extension.
Ideally this would allow one to look at the current as well as prior versions of the file in Box Web without having to download each version separately.4 votes -
Thumbnail previews of documents should show file type: docx vs pdf
The new BOX.Com format no longer shows Word Docs with a Symbol vs PDF with
a different symbol.i.e. they have removed the prior, very visual, cues as to document type.
We can still see EXCEL symbol, but hopefully that will not be lostThis is a problem for us since we have many documents with long names, and
can't always see the final extension
Not to mention visual cues are exceedingly useful and helpful.8 votes -

Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution./ Boxプレビュー機能の解像度を高解像度に変更して欲しい。
Please change the resolution of the Box preview function to a higher resolution.
If you specify a magnification level that is sufficient to display the entire page and preview a file containing text, such as PDF or Word, the text resolution is low and the fonts displayed are difficult to read.
(In Japanese)
Boxプレビュー機能の解像度を高解像度に変更して欲しい。
ページ全体を表示する程度の倍率を指定し、PDFやWordなどの文字を含むファイルをプレビューすると、文字の解像度が低く、表示されるフォントが読みづらい。2 votes -
Add preview of images in WebP format
Could you be so kind to add preview of images in WebP format?
It is already supported by all major browsers (except for Safari, alas) https://caniuse.com/#search=webp I prefer it because its lossless mode consumes less disk space than PNG 24bit and it makes less noise than JPG in lossy mode. At present WebP images are displayed as general files within Box interface, whereas traditional JPG/PNG are displayed better as they have fancy thumbnails. Thank you in advance.

Option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when clicked on shared links
I would like the option to turn off or remove the Sign Up or Log In screen when my client clicked on my shared links. This pop-up window confuses them and leading them to think they must Sign Up or Log in in order for them to view and download my shared documents.
If my client like your product structure, I am sure they will sign up for an account themselves without the need to prompt them every time. This effect my business as I have received many complains about this window. They recommend for me to use other methods.

I want to display the same date and time as the original file when I preview the file.
Please fix the following issues in the preview, which are also noted as known limitations:.
[Excerpt from the article]
Excel preview does not follow time information in the original file. When previewing Excel documents in Box, the time-related functions (for example, TODAY() or TIME()) do not display accurately. This is because Excel date/time functions are dynamic, while the previewed document is static. Box preview obtains and displays the date the file was previewed. A static version of the time/date is displays in the previewed document, based on the time the preview was generated.reference article

You used to be able to enable autoplay for files in a box folder. Now, even if you click on "enable" for autoplay, it does not. Why????

Please Improve the overwriting of a file with the same name when it is uploaded with "Previewer/uploader" permission.
Please improve the following problems that occur when using the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege.
When a file with the same name as an existing file is uploaded, the file is overwritten and saved.
When a user with the "Pre Viewer/ Uploader" privilege uploads the same file name, Please the file name should be automatically converted to a different file name from the existing file, such as "File Name_2", so that it can be uploaded.

permanently purge file version history
Hello,
We have a use case that we use box as a temporary storage location in a workflow. But once the workflow is finished, we would like to purge the information but "keep" the same boxfileid. We thought by deleting the version history, we would have achieved this. But it turns out the deleted version history is restorable.
I am wondering if it is possible to
(1) optionally make a file "not" able to store version history
(2) or optionally permanently delete a version5 votes -

I would really love to be able to see and use my PDF bookmarks from within the Box preview service
I have large PDF files that are stored on Box. Rather than having to always download the files I would like to use the bookmarks within the PDF to navigate even if I am in the Box Preview function.
Thank you for considering this enhancement
