Launched: View Files Inside a Zip
We now support preview for zip files with our archive viewer for Box web application and mobile browser sessions. Users can view the list of files within a selected zip file with navigation capabilities such as search and sort.
Coming Soon: Scanned PDFs are Searchable
We will soon be releasing the ability to search for text inside of scanned PDFs. Box will use machine learning-based technologies to extract text from PDFs and make it searchable. Previously, users were able to search the contents of PDFs that contained OCR data such as documents that originated from Microsoft Word, but not those that are image-based, such as scanned documents or Box Capture PDFs.
Coming Soon: Capture for iOS Update
When you spend more time in the field than at your desk, you need tools that keep up with the way you work. Box Capture makes it easy to take photos, videos, and document scans when you're on the go and instantly save them to the cloud, automatically triggering workflows with your team so they can react to information from the field in real-time.
Launched: Updated Box Sync LTS Installer
This new version includes a critical resolution to a security issue that has been resolved in the generally releases Box Sync v4.0.7965. Administrators who utilize our LTS installers for Box Sync deployments should update their images once this release is complete.
