On my free account, I was unable to preview videos. I just upgraded to a Personal Pro account and it still says I am unable to preview this file type. Is it because it is an MP4? Or do I need an even higher level account?

Pretty frustrating!

Hi Greg, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help!

Ok and why is that only available.on Business level? I’ve been with you guys 15 years. I can preview on WeTransfer,  Dropbox  and pretty much anyone else. BTW, I am NOT on the free acct. I would LOVE for you guys to make that available for us long time supporters.

I’m with Greg, frustrating...
