App-user can't view boxnote files within the app
AnsweredI use Box mainly as my digital notebook. I created an app (OAuth 2 & JWT) and an app-user so that my colleagues can view my private boxnote files even without a box.com account. However the app-user/my colleagues can view any file except for the boxnote files. I then found out that boxnote files can't be previewed which is I guess the reason the app-user can't view them in the app.
So my question is:
Will there be a preview for boxnote files one day?
As for the reason why I can't just use shared links:
I want the boxnote files to stay private. As soon as I create a shared link the file becomes public and might get crawled by Google or any other search engine.

Support for read-only BoxNotes preview is certainly a request we've been hearing from our customers and we are working together with the Box Notes team to have it prioritized.
