Show Current Folder Location (Instead of Top of 'All Files') as Default in the 'Move / Copy' Modal
In the former Web App UI, the Move / Copy pop-up (modal) always started off in the current location within the user's folder tree. In the new UI, this behavior was changed to always start the Move / Copy modal off at the top of the user's All Files list - no longer auto-navigating to the current location where the Move / Copy is originating from. REQUEST: Revert this change as it is now relatively challenging to move an item between subfolders in a given folder tree.

Unable to Retrieve Collaborator Email Address for a non-Registered Collaborator
From the Developer:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a collaboration to a folder with email, that not already registered in Box.com.
2) Create a request via Java SDK to get collaborations from this folder. Response like this will be returned:
{"totalcount":1,"entries":[
{"type":"collaboration",
"id":"987654321",
"createdby":{"type":"user","id":"23421234","name":"xxx","login":"xxx@xxx.xxx"},
"createdat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"modifiedat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"expiresat":null,
"status":"pending",
"accessibleby":null,
"role":"editor",
"acknowledgedat":null,
"item":{"type":"folder","id":"123456","sequenceid":"0","etag":"0","name":"FolderToCollaborate"}}
]}
'AccessibleBy' is null. So we don't receive an information about collaboration, for example email. But if user with this email registered in box, we receive information about it, like this:
...
"status":"accepted",
"accessible_by":{"type":"user","id":"1233445678","name":"Yyy .","login":"yyy@yyy.yyy"},
"role":"viewer", …8 votesThe accessible_by field now returns email addresses of unregistered collaborators.

More efficient way to get metadata on files in search
Search by metadata returns a list of files. That list isn't much use without knowing the metadata it matched. To use Box's metadata for anything past the initial search query that's related to display, each individual search result must be queried for its metadata.
4 votesWe are now in the process of rolling out the new Metadata Query capability to all Box enterprises and expect to be complete by the end of June 2020.
Please refer to https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/

French translation inconsistency in the action button "Corbeille"
There is a translation inconsistency in the action button Corbeille (Trash), which creates some confusion among users. The button should state an action, not the actual object as this leads some users to think that the button takes you to the actual Trash.
We suggest something like "mettre la corbeille," instead.
1 voteThank you! This is very useful feedback. We have changed and updated this button. Please continue to submit translation feedback.

Access Stats: Ability to 'export' on a per-file basis
Provide an 'export' button in the Access Stats modal (pop-up), allowing folder Editors, Co-Owners, and Owners to export a .xlsx file containing all preview/download entries for the file (not limited to the 50 most recent).
33 votesThis feature (the ability to ‘Export’ Access Stats at the file-level) was launched in April 2018. View this Community article for more information.

Auto-Hide Password Field on Login Page ('Smart SSO')
The Box standard (non-custom branded) login page (account.box.com) does not automatically remove the password field if the email entered is in an EID with SSO Required.
This means that users are often presented a password field that they don't even need to fill in, and they often have never even created a Box password, so they end up putting their SSO password into the field, then just have to enter it again when redirected to their SSO / IdP login page.

Watermark is "too intrusive"
Coming from WatchDox, this watermark style is way too intrusive. It makes the file content hard to read. Ultimately, we'd like the ability to customize the style and content of the watermark.
23 votesCustom Watermarking is now live!
With the new customization options, folder and file owners will be able to define the parameters of applied watermarks, including:
- Graphical options, such as color/orientation/size, opacity and more
- Standardized content, such as user email or IP address
- Custom text, allowing for more granular watermarks

'Email Shared Link' - Allow Searches to Include Spaces
The 'email shared link' feature (in the Shared Link pop-up) does not allow the user to enter a space when typing in the name/email field, meaning a user cannot type someone's first and last name to narrow down to exactly who they want.
