Explain navigation mode
Choosing the navigation mode (trackpad or mouse) is not evident and the navigation is not natural when you are on trackpad mode but using a mouse. Ther should be an interface explaining it is possible to change it

When an app is disabled for use, the client ID should be displayed on error page
When an app has been disabled, the error page displayed should surface the client ID in a manner that end users are familiar with instead of having to copy the URL and provide the ID from there. This is particularly useful because
1) the name of the app is missing from the error page
2) when it is a custom app that has been disabled it is removed entirely from the GUI which makes it difficult to track down.1 vote -

Restrict Apps (such as Box Sync) to a Group
With the impending deprecation of Box Sync I was looking to see about removing the Box Sync app from the Box App Store. I only see an option to disable Sync which would remove the apps, but also cause any installed Box Sync clients to start throwing errors since the service had been disabled.
I was told by support that I could turn Sync off for specific users, but we have way too many to make the adjustments on. While we don't use groups now, if there was a way to make apps available or unavailable at the group or…

ipad app zip download
Running the Box app on the iPad, I can't find a way to download a set of files or an entire folder as a ZIP to any app or the Files app. This works great on Android, and even Google Drive handles it.

App sign in to specific folder
I use an iPad app to manage PDFs of sheet music. I can sign into Box from the app, but I don't want to grant access to my ENTIRE BOX FOLDER TREE. I want to limit the app to read-only access to a specific folder and its descendants. Is there a way to do this? Can I set up a pseudo-login that accesses just a portion of my tree?

Change the file lock icon back to red
After the Shield File and Folder Badges update, the file lock icon changed from red to grey.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/9790388093075-File-and-Folder-BadgesIt is harder to see now so it would be great if you can change it back to red.

Reminder of auto deletion?
With auto deletion, could you tick a box if you would like to be reminded of the deletion, confirming you are happy to delete? With an option to extend the deletion date?
We would find this beneficial, as we set our files at a year from when the project ended, however sometimes our projects go longer. A reminder would be helpful to triple check we are happy with deleting.
Thanks

Using folders:items is not recursive
Running the command
box folders:items [IDOFFOLDER] --csv --save-to-file-path=[PATHTOFOLDERTOSAVE_REPORT]To get a list of files and their respective SHA1 values is difficult as this command has to be run on each folder within the tree. There should be a recursive option, or better yet, a report a user can run to provide the SHA1 values within a tree. This is very important for eDiscovery and chain of custody.

Warning about creating folders with invalid characters
The web application does not currently warn users about creating folders with invalid characters. For example, if you create a folder name that ends in a period [.] via the web, that folder never comes down to the Box client on a Windows machine. This is a limitation of windows.
However, other cloud providers WARN users before creating the folder in the first place and some even prevent the creation of the folder (Egnyte for instance).
A warning of "The folder you are creating contains an invalid character that may not be visible to users on Windows machines" or something…

I would like to see a lock feature implemented so that tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled can occupy and edit files
Tenants with the "Box for Microsoft Office" feature enabled will not be able to update locked files.
As an alternative, the following procedure may be applicable, but has the following disadvantages■procedure
①Lock the target file
②Download the file and update it locally
③Upload updated files
④Unlock■demerit
Many steps and cumbersome
If another user downloads > edits > uploads a file that is locked, the file will be updated.Therefore, I would like to see a lock function implemented so that files can be occupied and edited like Box tools.

Box Relay's 'New Upload' trigger only fires with the first version of the file.
- Add "Box Script" to your drop down list of systems on this page.
- Modify Script's 'New Upload' Relay Trigger so it applies to updated copies of a file to that same folder. aka V2, V3, etc. Currenty 'New Upload' only fires on the first time a file with that name is uploaded.

Make scroll bar wider
When viewing a CSV file via Box's web portal/app, would love to see the tiny thin scroll bars made wider. (This form won't let me upload a screenshot of exactly what I'm referring to).
