Summary

Box acquired Crocodoc to enhance document viewing in its applications and offered the technology as the Box View API for developers to integrate document display in their apps. However, these services were based on outdated technologies, leading to maintenance challenges. To address this, Box developed a new Box View service, now generally available, which supports a wide range of file types and offers improved rendering fidelity, security features, and is built on the same technology stack as Box's core applications for better integration and future enhancements. With the introduction of the new Box View, Box plans to discontinue the Crocodoc and legacy Box View API services by January 15, 2018, providing developers with ample time and resources to migrate to the new service, promising a smoother transition and support during the process.
