Box Capture enhancements
Videos recorded using Box Capture on iPad have been randomly saving with incorrect orientation for some time now. Videos will be recorded with iPad in landscape mode, but files will come out in portrait mode. I have had to manually reorient many many videos over the past few months.
Clearing the local storage only works temporarily to fix the video rotation issue, and it eventually creeps back in. It is also odd to me that clearing the local video storage would have any effect on this. Is there some other data that is in the local storage that is gumming things up?

better video preview engine. better video details.
Does the video preview engine handle x264 or x265 content? The whole industry is moving to x265 so ya better consider that. Does it handle .mkv files? Most of our videos dont preview properly. It shows a still frame but clicking the play icon comes up with an error message.
You may notice in windows when you click on a video it tells you about the video in detail like 1920x1080, video tracks x264 hi10 L5.0 audio tracks FLAC 51 (Jpn) (Eng) Subtitle tracks PGS Eng SRT Eng.
would be nice if the details of the file showed this info like windows does. Theres a popular windows extension called MediaInfo. That info is what video editors are interested in when clicking on files. The Kbits/sec or Mbits/sec, frame size, audio tracks, subtitle tracks etc.
Having quick access to that info would be awesome.As it is now, we have to include all that info in the name of the file because we cant preview it and find out. Or we download it and run MediaInfo on it to see the video specs.

Need ability to migrate workflows between Box instances
For M&A use cases, it's my understanding that Relay workflows cannot be migrated once Box instances are merged - it'd be nice to have this built into the product so that companies that are constantly acquiring other companies (on Box) don't have to worry about losing access to business critical workflows.

Enhance and support the Box Embed Widget for mobile browsers.
We outsource hosting and presenting documents to Box. We allow our users to upload documents in our app and we upload them to Box via API. Later on, when users want to view the file, we ask the Box API for an iframe URL and embed it in our app. So, in the end, no one is logged in to any box applications, because we use the API under the hood.
16 votesThank you for the submission. We are currently collecting use cases and feature requests for the Box Embed widget, and are considering it for update in a future planning cycle. We do not have a timeline for this at present, but ask you to continue to submit feedback here in the meantime.
