Hi,

 

I’m using Box to display some assets but the preview only seems to show these for assets under 500 MB. Is there a way this setting can be changed so that all thumbnail previews are showing?

 

Thanks.

Hi ​@Daryl_G, 

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re glad to help with your thumbnail preview! 

Preview is limited to files sized 500MB or smaller and this is not a setting that can be modified, we’re sorry for the limitation.
