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".
However, it is not possible to manage the version history as a…2 votes -

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.

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 -

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.

Ability to change the URL of the notification email to a URL for each tenant.
I would like to be able to change the URL of the notification email to a URL for each tenant.
In the notification email, click on "Go to My Account" to go to https://box.com.
I would like to be able to change this URL to a per-tenant URL. Example: https://[company name].ent.box.com
Currently, if you are using SSO login or if your firewall controls access by domain, the user accessing the site must manually change the URL.
It takes a lot of man-hours for a user who receives a notification e-mail to follow the above procedure every time, and there…2 votes -
Folder ownership transfer warning message
When transferring ownership of folders, there is no warning message that it will take some time, and no warning that it will make those folders/files inoperable until every folder has been successfully transfered to a new user.
Can we please add a warning that ownership changes to folders will sometimes take days depending on the file size, and that none of the files/folders can be used until the ownership transfer is complete? Not having this warning caused 4 days of downtime for my company.

Box Embed Should Support Additional Query String Parameters to Show/Hide Content
Box Embed currently uses query string parameters to show/hide certain content, for example "showParentPath" and "showItemFeedActions". For our use-case, we would benefit greatly from expanding the supported query string parameters to hide additional elements from the iframe. Examples include the ability to hide the filename with dropdown menu (including the All Files and Folders hyperlink), the "Download" and "Share" buttons, the arrows that let you navigate between recently viewed files, and the "X" button that allows you to close out of the currently viewed document and be returned to the "All Files and Folders" view.
By supporting additional boolean query…
