Disable 'Upload via Email' Admin Setting Globally
Currently, the 'Upload via Email' setting (that's shown on the Folder Settings page) is always enabled, and admins have no way of disabling this setting globally in their instance.
REQUEST: Add a new option to Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Security -> Uploads that gives Admins the ability to disable this setting/option globally.

Group Admin - Customizable Permissions
Currently the Group Admin role is an all or nothing option, which, for some, provides far too many permissions (instant log in, etc.).
Just like Box has customizable co-admin roles, Group Admin permissions should be split out in the same way.

Bulk Download Speed Increase
We're attempting to download files over 10 GB using the bulk download feature but it is taking longer than it would take if they were to download each file individually. It appears we are hitting a limit to which the bulk download feature is actually improving their speeds.
9 votesHi! Throughout last year we've thoroughly improved our Zip download capability stability and performance which you should already experience especially with larger bulk downloads.
I'll also take this chance to remind that the functionality has a functional limit of 100k files in an archive or 150GB maximum archive size and recommended values of 10k files or 25GB total Zip size that reflect the natural implications of the way Zip archive is being streamed to customers.
Feel free to post questions and comments, we're here to help.
Thank you!

Unmanageable API Key Whitelists
Enterprises with a lot of active software development groups have unmanageable API Key whitelists. This manifests in a lot of ways.
There is no way to limit API Keys to development (limit liability). Typical dev-qa-prod cycle requires 3 API keys. No way to associate API Keys to specific projects. There is no way to tell if old API Keys are still in use.
13 votesDelivered - we have removed the allowlist for user auth apps and moved those apps to the new user auth tab. Details here: https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/custom-apps-manager-updates-c79ccf8ebe97
Sandbox enhancements are being tracked separately.

Add Missing Color Profiles in Box Preview
Image capture devices (cameras, document scanners, etc.) and image display devices (computer monitors, cell phone screens, printers, and so forth) all have different natural color and tone characteristics. One camera may be more sensitive to reds, while another camera will react more to blues. Some LCD displays may naturally be brighter or darker than others. Depending on which two device, we are comparing, these differences may be subtle, or very large and obvious.
Color profiles provide a means by which an output or display device can make accommodations for these differences, meaning that your image can appear more or less…
20 votesThanks for giving us feedback on this topic. We have released some changes which will make for a better and richer preview of image files. Please let us know if you have more feedback on this topic.

'Not available' error message when accessing a link needs to be more specific.
Please fix the ambiguous 'Not available' and 'Unable to Download File on Box EMM' error messages when users attempt to click on links sent to them that they don't have access to.
Instead of users being sent shared links, they are being sent URL's for files/folders that only the sender has access to (as designed). They are asking for the error message to be more specific, and to say something like the following:
"The requested page does not exist, or you do not have permission to view it, or this is not a Box Shared Link. Please check the URL…2 votes -
