New Thumbnail view for images	You can now quickly view your images in a new Thumbnail view.

New Details Pane	The new Details pane displays at-a-glance metadata about your file or folder, such as the version history, description, properties, owner, creation date, last modified date, and size.

Quick Access to Search Filter Tool	Click on the Filter Tool button, which is now directly available from the Search bar, to enter additional search criteria.

Support for using Copy and Paste via keyboard	You can now use keyboard shortcuts for Copy (Ctrl + C [Windows], Command + C [Mac]) and Paste (Ctrl + V [Windows], Command + V [Mac]) to copy and paste your files between your Box folders, as well as from your computer to a Box folder.

Improved Box Notes	Box Notes has a new sidebar that includes the ability to quickly add a Box Note, access recently edited Box Notes, and bookmark favorite Box Notes.
