Metadata Templates for External Collaborators
There is no way for external collaborators to add metadata templates to folders and files. If templates are added for them, they can edit the templates, but they are unable to add the templates themselves.
Allowing external collaborators to add metadata templates on their own would be beneficial to enable collaboration that leverages metadata.
An example use case is photographers who use our Box environment to share image assets with us and would be the best people to classify the images.

Select box reports export folder
With the new scheduled report capability, it would be useful to determine the folder where scheduled report are exported as a way to grant access to a range of users. Whilst we can now select who are the viewers for a report, this is not ideal as people change roles, and therefore a location or a Box Group would be much more convenient ways to share scheduled reports

Ability to export file requests dashboard
With time, many file requests have been created. The file request dashboard is a welcome addition, however additional features would be needed so we can actually take actions:
- export all active file requests filtered by Box Group so that we can share that with champions for different departments to look into
- search/filter by user and folder name3 votes -
Box Notes API / Integration with icalendar standard
Hello,
I'm one of the devs of DAVx⁵, the leading open source sync solution on Android. We're using open standards like WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV. People can access their files and sync calendars, contacts, tasks, notes and journals to their Android device.
We already can provide access to box.com files via WebDAV for users which is great. They can access their files from box.com on Android seamlessly.
But DAVx5 can also synchronize Tasks, Notes and Journals using CalDAV and the VJOURNAL and VTODO standards (jtx Board on Android is one app that is using VJOURNAL and VTODO for example).
It would be really…

Change Back Bullet/Numbering/Checkbox on Box Notes
I have tried reporting this as a bug, though I have been told it is an "expected behavior" - Users used to be able to change individual lines' bullet formatting - but now, if you change a line, it changes ALL LINES above and below to the selected formatting (bullet/numbering/checkbox). Even if you highlight a single line, all lines above and below get changed with it. Please change this back to how it was!

Allow for alerts or other actions on file downloads with sensitive content.
Under Governance and content security, allow policies to be created for file download that would alert or quarantine files on Download with sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank account/routing numbers, PII, CUI, Proprietary, Confidential, Classified, or Secret. You can create policies for these files that trigger on upload which seems backwards. I want sensitive content to be uploaded into Box rather than other locations. I don't want it to be removed from Box.

Box Drive - All files organization
Box Drive does not currently allow for organization of your All Files folder.
To reorganize or move folders on this screen, it actively moves the folders, which isn't always possible. Due to different staff members requiring access to only portions of each folder, we cannot bunch together certain folders that would otherwise belong together.
For the all files screen, Box should implement a way to label and organize folders for your own personal box, that does not affect where the files are located and how they are shared. There is a way to do this with the collections list on…

Addition of a function to confirm whether or not to overwrite a file with the same name if it exists in the destination folder when a file w
When copying a file from another folder in a Box, if the destination folder contains a file with the same name, a message will appear asking if the file should be overwritten.
The message "There is a file with the same name, do you want to overwrite it? and if the user selects "Yes", the file can be overwritten.Currently, the process is: "Add (1) to the end of the copied file"⇒ "Rename the file that already exists" ⇒ "Remove (1) from the end of the copied file".

Configuring the Default Box Drive Folder Location
In the latest version of Box Drive and OS it is no longer possibly to change the file path to a shared folder. This is causing many linking issues for my team as we work within shared files. Would love for this to be reconsidered again and put it the next box update.

Can you please publish the API endpoint to download the files from trashed folders as well? We can't tamper the user data.
Same kind of request available in these 2 places well.

Ability to identify meta data returned being customer inputted or Box System generated
When using the method to return all metadata file.getAllMetadata();
The response seems to be returning numerous sets of metadata templates that are attached to the file, both customer created and Box system related.
It would be good if there was an attribute / flag to filter out values that are customer entered vs Box System generated.

File Conflicts in Zip Download, provide our own file names to avoid conflicts
File Conflicts in Zip Download, provide our own file names to avoid conflicts.
For the Create Zip Download API call, there's an issue with files with name conflicts being renamed randomly. Instead, could we provide our own file name for the file name conflicts? https://developer.box.com/reference/post-zip-downloads/#request-example
Example:
Folder A / Tacos.jpg
Folder B / Tacos.jpgResult (assuming we provide our own file names):
1st filename = Folder A - Tacos.jpg
2nd filename = Folder B - Tacos.jpg1 vote -
Ability to color code folders per agency within an Enterprise account while in the web portal view.
To clarify/differentiate different agencies/companies under our main Enterprise, we would love to have the ability to apply color coding to folders in order to make it easier for those individuals who have access to multiple companies.
Thank you!

Edit Locked files when Co-Authoring is turned on by the user trying to edit
Our workflow uses both coauthoring and often requires locking files to prevent others from editing while in use. The new coauthoring with Office locks out the user that is trying to edit the file. It would be nice to be able to use both when needed. Now, if a user tries to lock a file to prevent access to it while editing, that same user that locked the file is prevented from editing it. Or maybe add an additional option to edit and lock.
